Are you disappointed with life?
The Bible Companion Book 7 helps you reconcile the realities of life with the promises of God. A simple one-chapter-a-day format lets you engage with Scriptures without the pressure of schedules, homework, or heavy reading loads. Short daily readings and thought-provoking questions connect your story to God’s Word. For personal, group, or homeschool Bible study.
In the Books of Wisdom, God speaks to us in poetry—the language of the heart. These books reveal a God concerned not only about our minds and bodies, but also our emotions. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs bridge the gap between life as we hoped it would be and life as it is. If you struggle with your life’s circumstances, The Bible Companion Book 7 will help you find guidance, comfort, and strength in the poetry of men and women who searched for God in the dark and found Him.
Excerpt from the Book
Qohelet—who identifies himself as a wealthy, powerful king—exemplifies the futility of a life lived apart from God. He seems to be Solomon, but for simplicity’s sake, we will refer to him as the Teacher. The Teacher’s assertion that life is meaningless could leave us despondent. But he does not have the last say. A narrator who introduces and concludes the book puts the Teacher’s disillusionment into a godly framework. The narrator writes to his son, seeking to help him avoid the Teacher’s mistakes (Ecc1. 12:12). Ecclesiastes fully recognizes the inconsistencies and suffering of life, but the narrator concludes with “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment,
whether it is good or evil” (Eccl. 12:13–14).
Ecclesiastes 1
A SEARCH FOR MEANING IN LIFE
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher, “Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 1:2
“MEANINGLESS!” SUMS UP THE TEACHER’S view of life. Hebel, the Hebrew word for “meaningless,” means “breath” and conveys a sense of being fleeting, like vapor. Life is elusive. So is our attempt to understand it.
