In this 2nd sermon of Pastor Snook's series "Living Life Backward", we're challenged to confront a profound question: What if the key to a meaningful life lies in accepting its finite nature?
Solomon's journey, chronicled in his personal journal, serves as a stark warning against seeking fulfillment in worldly pleasures, wealth, and accomplishments. As we delve into Ecclesiastes 2, we're reminded that laughter, success, and material possessions – while not inherently bad – cannot satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. Solomon's experiences teach us to 'live life backward,' allowing the reality of our mortality to shape our priorities and ambitions.
This perspective shift invites us to find true joy and purpose not in temporal pursuits, but in a relationship with God. As we reflect on Solomon's wisdom, we're encouraged to examine our own lives. Are we, like the prodigal son, seeking satisfaction in empty places? Or are we allowing God to fill the 'God-shaped hole' in our hearts, finding delight in His presence and discernment through His wisdom?
