Conclusion to Ecclesiastes

I’m skipping chapters 11 and 12 in Ecclesiastes because I can’t fully relate to them and don’t want to come across as a dork. They have to do with aging and the older parts of life (I think).

However, I would like to share the conclusion of the book:

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:

Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”

This is pretty much all I have for Ecclesiastes. I  thoroughly enjoy this book and recommend it to anyone, Christian or not.

Over the past few days, as I’ve been studying the book, I’ve noticed that life takes on a new order and seeing it through the teachings of God has made it much more interesting. He is speaking to me more often, or, perhaps I am listening more often.

I’m finding that I’m still the same person, I just have a new outlook on life that I didn’t have before.  Solomon’s words echo throughout my day and make me glad I studied them.
