In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon ponders the utter despair of a life lived apart from God. Everything is utterly meaningless. You are here one day and gone the next, forgotten by all in a few generations. What is left of life if all there is is what is under the sun? Solomon tried everything that is available under the sun and found only utter despair in possessions, pleasures, power and prestige. The alternative is a life of meaning, lived for God.
