Ecclesiastes 5:18Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and

enjoy oneself in all

one's labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.

Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men—

a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires;

yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is [frustration] and a severe affliction.

FAMILIES6:3-6 [3] If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, "Better the miscarriage than he, [4] for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. [5] "It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he. [6] "Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things—do not all go to one place?"

Ecclesiastes 6:7-9

[7] All a man's labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied. [8] For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living?

STOP the Demands Life=UNFAIR! Drop ‘Justice’(v.8 Rich/Poor/Foolish/Wise ~Mattr)2 Choices: Cry ^ Lrn.2 Enjoy

6:9 (NLT)

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind.

6:10 (NLT) Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.

6:10 (NASB) Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

6:11-12 (NASB)

[11] For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?

[12] For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

7:1-5 (NASB) [1] A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth. [2] It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart. [3] Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy. [4] The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure. [5] It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.

7:6 For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.

=PATIENTLY Building vs. ARROG. DEMANDS

7:7-8

[7] For oppression makes a wise man mad, And a bribe corrupts the heart.

[8] The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
