Empty Miles wk7: The End of the Journal | 11/30/2025

In Empty Miles #7: The End of the Journal (Ecclesiastes 11–12), Solomon’s long search for meaning finally reaches clarity: life is only fulfilled when we remember, revere, and respond to our Creator. After exposing the emptiness of self-centered living, endless experiences, achievement, and worldly wisdom, Solomon ends his “journal” by identifying the true source of purpose—living with God at the center. He urges us to remember our Creator while we are young, enjoy God’s gifts without worshiping them, accept life’s pains in a broken world, learn from the wisdom of others, and look above and beyond “life under the sun.” Because every life moves toward an inevitable end and future judgment, what we do today matters. Meaning is found not in chasing the wind but in walking with God—living the life He crafted for us.
