King Solomon, recognizing his own limitations, asked God for wisdom to govern His people, which pleased the Lord, who granted him both wisdom and abundant blessings. The book of Ecclesiastes reveals Solomon's later reflections on life, where he discovered that wisdom, pleasure, achievements, and wealth alone could not bring true fulfillment. Using the story of Ben Roethlisberger, the sermon illustrates how even great success can feel empty without a deeper faith, especially in life’s "fourth quarter." Ultimately, true satisfaction comes not from earthly pursuits but from a life rooted in faith and obedience to God.
