The book of Ecclesiastes is written by a wise teacher (often called “the Teacher” or “the Preacher”) who looks at life and concludes that so much of it feels pointless – like chasing the wind. He tries everything: wisdom, pleasure, work, wealth, and success. But in the end, he finds that none of it brings lasting satisfaction. People die, things get forgotten, and life is full of things you can’t control. So his advice is this: enjoy the simple gifts God gives you – food, work, relationships – and fear God because He’s the one who will judge everything in the end.
