King Solomon wrote this book for three reasons. One, it’s an auto biographical account of his search for life’s purpose. Second, it was a stern warning to his fellow Israelites to find a meaning to this short life. Third, it was an apologetic for travelers seeking Israel’s hidden truth about a belief in one God who alone makes sense in our existence.

Where are you at? Personally Searching, need a strong correction, or just passing through hoping to learn the truth of the wise one who knows God?

This week, when all you’ve ever wanted isn’t enough, do you know why it’s not? As Bart Starr, the great football quarterback once said after his super-bowl, “If this is the game of all games, why is there another one next year?” It’s often not until we come face to face with our own mortality that we see the vanity of life and what its real purpose is.
