17. Life under the sun from a
purely human perspective
with all the worldly
wisdom, power, popularity, f
ame, prestige, riches, wealth,
pleasures…
will not have a greater
meaning apart from God…

18. The key thought in the
book of Ecclesiastes is
“vanity”
It’s Emptiness of trying to
be happy apart from God…
But that’s your CHOICE…

19. In the final conclusion
from ancient writings…
“FEAR GOD AND KEEP
HIS
COMMANDMENTS, FOR
THIS IS MAN’S ALL”
(ECC 12:13)

20. “In much Wisdom
is much grief
and
one who increases
knowledge
increases sorrow.”
(ECC 1:18)

21. “God shall judge the
righteous and the
wicked, For there is time
there for every purpose
and for every work…”
(ECC 3:17)

22. Wisdom excels folly
as
Light excels darkness
(ECC 2:13)

23. “Wisdom is good with
inheritance and profitable
to those who see the sun.
But Excellency of knowledge
is that wisdom gives life to
those who have it”
(ECC 7:11-12)

24. “In the day of prosperity be
joyful, But in the day of
adversity conceder:
Surely God has appointed the
one as well as the other, So
that one can find out nothing
that will come after him.”
(ECC 7:14)

25. Skepticism and
despair melt away
when one views life
daily a gift from
God…

26. Perhaps…
Let’s just take a deep
breath and accept life one
day at a time and seek
God through prayers for
His guidance the gift of
life for His Glory.

27. Many have passed before us
and many will come after us.
The most precious meaning
life enables us to have a
genuine “PURPOSE”.
So I ask you to consider this
gift and enjoy the blessings.
For GOD is “LOVE”

28. Only through God you
will find the essence in
the meaning to “LOVE”
When you receive it in
your heart then you may
understand the real
meaning to life…
I call it “TRUTH”
