The Teacher realizes the limits of human wisdom. God has purposes for human life, but we can’t fully understand those purposes. Humans must simply trust God and act on the knowledge He has given them. God’s purposes will ultimately result in good for those who love Him and obey Him (Romans 8:28).
The book of Ecclesiastes teaches us the folly of living a life that is not centered on God. We are encouraged to enjoy the gifts of God—food, drink, family and friends—but only as we seek first His kingdom and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matthew 6:33). At the end of the book, the Teacher writes: . . . here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man1 (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
