This document summarizes key passages from Ecclesiastes 3:1-15. It discusses how the past teaches that all things change and life is unpredictable. The present teaches that a man's work will soon be forgotten while a God-given task will never be forgotten, and that a blessed life is found in contentment. The future teaches that God is sovereign over humanity and will require an accounting from each person. The better questions for the new year are whether one's life has pleased God, where to go next, and what God requires.
