#318 - When Life Doesn't Make Sense - Ecc. 1

Sometimes--often--the world and life doesn't make sense. This is our perspective as those who live "under the sun," as Solomon puts it in Ecclesiastes. This introductory message from chapter 1 explains the viewpoint of Solomon which leaves him thinking that life looks meaningless, or is "vanity," in his words. Life leaves us puzzled by its endless cycles of life and death, seasons, and work, What do we do when we do not have the key to life? We trust the Lockmaker. The honest assessment of Ecclesiastes shares the feeling many of us have about the mysteries of life. Things may look meaningless "under the sun," but there is One who sees all things from above and the answers lay with Him, so we have to trust the Lord.
