Ecclesiastes 8

True wisdom comes from knowing and trusting God, not merely the way to find him. Knowing God will lead to understanding and then to sharing that knowledge with others. Even in a man could have all of the world's wisdom, he would still know very little. No one can fully comprehend God.

Ecclesiastes 1

Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 begins with a proclamation that the words that follow are indeed the words of King Solomon. During his later years, Solomon looked back on his life, his flair, and his folly. He determined that they all seemed meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 2

Solomon conducted his search for life's meaning as an experiment. The first thing he tried to satisfy himself with was pleasure. He bought more slaves, herds, and flocks. He surrounded himself with jesters, singers, and many beautiful women. This still did not satisfy him. He referred to it as "chasing after the wind."

Ecclesiastes 3

Solomon believed that there is a time and place for everything, whether it be good or bad. He believes that you must seek guidance from God to truly know what your path in life is.
