Ecclesiastical Reflections

As God's word illuminates us and guides us to our next path, whenever we stop to look how far we have come from, we cannot but realize that it was His Word, His direction that brought us thus far and without his grace we would not have made it. Reflecting on life from a renewed spiritual standpoint, Solomon too realizes this as he catches wind of the fickleness of life amidst the challenges, triumphs and pitfalls he had made. A renewed Solomon terms himself as the preacher, after experiencing the treacheries of an idolatrous lifestyle, led on by a pagan wife, he sits himself down to think and ponder on his experiences. The sumtotal of his thoughts then have led to this book - Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes is a hard-hitting, no bars holed kinda book. Many call it depressing but in fact it is full of life. It teaches us things learnt late in the game for Solomon and calls us to account for life's circumventing and neverending issues (without apology). With succinct language and clearness of speech, each verse charges us to face the facts and face them now. This is your journey into those verses. I encourage you to read the recommended texts and answer the questions. Within these pages might just be the answers you have been looking for.
