Description
  • Shead preaches on Ecclesiastes 11:1-12:8. Reflecting on God’s ordering of life and our limited perspective of it, the Teacher recommends proactive shrewdness in preparation for any eventuality to occur. The poem on age and decline in chapter 12 evokes deep reflection upon life and our eventual end. The teacher affirms the emotional and startling reality of death and decline, directing the reader to reflect upon their own end. God gives and takes, often without our comprehension or understanding. For the Teacher, life should be viewed as a gift from God to be enjoyed. Remembering God as our creator provides a reference point for our life and its mysteries. Like Job, we can endure the incomprehensible nature of life in faith with God.
