Being Faithful to Jesus Where We Are: At Play – Part 2
Ecclesiastes 3:9-13; 11:9
Solomon repeats a phrase throughout Ecclesiastes – “Everything is meaningless – completely meaningless.” What does this mean to you?
Read Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 Why is work such a burden? (Read Genesis 3:17-19)
How does what is stated in verse 11 help us deal with the burden of work? Why is it difficult for us to fully appreciate this?
According to this verse, what has God put in every human heart? How does this show itself?
Read Ecclesiastes 3:12-13. What is Solomon’s conclusion? Is this conclusion just for believers or for all people? Why or why not?
Read Psalm 118:24 and 1 Timothy 6:17. How do these verses apply to Solomons’ conclusion?
Read Ecclesiastes 11:9. What is the word to young people? What is the warning?
Read John 10:10. How does what Jesus says encourage us to enjoy life?
Read Romans 14:12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10. How can we enjoy life when there is the promise of judgment? (See Paul’s comments earlier in 2 Corinthians 5)
How does the completed work of Jesus on our behalf contribute to us being happy and enjoying ourselves?
Prayer: Ask God to help you have a joyful and full life in Him.
