V.1-7 There is never a better time to think about God and eternity than when we are young. As we get older, life becomes harder with more responsibilities. See if you can see different members of the body here — (v. 3) arms, legs, teeth. The body returns to dust (Gen. 3:1919In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:19)) after death. The end of verse 7 does not tell us what God does with man’s spirit. We have to turn elsewhere in God’s Word to find out.
V.8 No change in Solomon’s decision. Have we learned this too?
V.9-12 We get those proverbs that God has kept for us in the book of Proverbs which give heavenly wisdom for life on earth but not for salvation.
V.13-14 Solomon’s conclusion to all that he saw on earth is told us in this book of Ecclesiastes. There is much wisdom and help. But when we are born again we receive the heavenly new life, and we learn of this in Paul’s Epistles.
