Reflection on Eccles & Song of Sol

Trusting God thru His Promises

The purpose of Ecclesiastes is
to spare future generations the
bitterness of learning through
their own experience that life
is meaningless apart from God;
while that of Song of Songs is to
tell of the love between a couple,
to affirm the sanctity of marriage &
picture God’s love for His people.
On Monday, we learn from Eccl 3
that God’s Timing is Best.
On Tuesday, we learn from Eccl 4
that God Is the Best Companion.
On Wed, we learn from Eccl 5 to
Thank God for Work & Retirement.
On Thu, we learn from Eccl 9/12
to Fear God & Make the Most of Life.
On Friday, we learn from SoS 1-4
that God Fosters Love in us.
On Sat, we learn from Song 5-8
that God Models His Faithfulness.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who trust You:
for You are the best companion
and Your timing is the best for us;
for You provide work & retirement,
and model love and faithfulness;
for You truly keep Your promises.
In Jesus’ precious name we pray…
