Having visited the faith of the Old Testament saints, the author now calls on his readers to exhibit that same kind of faith amid their own set of trials and struggles. This was a call to remain steadfast in the face of obstacles and unwavering in their commitment to the promises of God.
In this chapter, Solomon remembers that God is trustworthy in all seasons of life. We are urged to look to Him in seasons of difficulty and joy and to live wisely.
Having more of anything – wealth, control, or power – fails to satisfy. Solomon points to the only thing that can bring true satisfaction: enjoying God and trusting Him with every aspect of life.
