Ecclesiastes

Chapters 1-4,1/8/2009 – 1/11/2009 (note date .. posted in different order in BLOG)
Chapters 4-12, 2/16/2008 – 2/27/2008

This chapter will seem disjoint in the writings because of the dates. I started this “journey” with my kids and just jumped in where I was reading, which was Ecclesiastes chapter 4. I wanted to make sure my journal was complete where each chapter was touched on throughout the Bible. So I went in a filled in the “holes” for Ecclesiastes. Hence I noted the date breaks.

Now Ecclesiastes is one of the more depressing books in the Bible. It’s believed Solomon wrote this while in a “funk”. As you read it you will find it eye opening and enjoyable … at the same time I bet you can’t remember many sermons that taught on Ecclesiastes!!! I know I can’t recall any, I believe this is because it’s such a difficult book to understand. 

Were the writings meant to be sarcastic or a real period in Solomon’s life that we all may go through? Go into it with an open mind and enjoy what God reveals.
