In the never-ending quest for fulfilment, we sometimes convince ourselves that life would be better if we just had a different career…more education…a new spouse…a fresh start in another location. The good life is always just out of reach.
Do you want to know the secret to living the good life—a life of meaning and satisfaction? The wisest man in the ancient world searched for fulfilment by experiencing everything the world had to offer. In Living on the Ragged Edge: Coming to Terms with Reality, Chuck Swindoll explores the personal journal of King Solomon, the book of Ecclesiastes. If you struggle to find contentment and joy in life, then join Chuck as he shares wisdom for living at its best.
The verses in Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 help us see the practical usefulness of wisdom and how to fit it into everyday life.
Solomon shares wise counsel about certain things being better than others.
Ecclesiastes 6 is the tragic picture of a man, old and weary, who has come to the sunset years of his life.
Solomon comes to some conclusions about financial frustrations worth hearing and heeding. But beware! This is not your typical “think and grow rich” advice.
When we come into the Lord's presence to worship Him, what's to be remembered? How how are we to think and respond?
If we take Solomon's counsel to heart, two are better than one, we learn how to survive lonely, desolate days.
It's lonely at the top. The dream of climbing the ladder to success is more often than not a distress-ridden nightmare.
In the final paragraph of Chapter 3, Solomon is alone with his thoughts. He admits his disillusionment and confusion.
The interlude in Ecclesiastes 3:11-15, though brief, brings into perspective several things Solomon had missed in his search for purpose and direction.
While we are always on the brink of change, Ecclesiastes 3 draws out two questions that must be addressed.
Your personal nourishment is crucial during times of storm. In panic moments, you'll cut a corner on your meals. You'll also fail to get sufficient sleep. It won't be long before you will set aside prayer altogether and you'll find yourself drained, spiritually. Increased emotional pain mixed with decreased spiritual renewal can be lethal to your faith.
