through that book

The writer of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes quite openly wrestles with life. After he does so he keeps saying , in my own words, 'whoop-tee-dooo'. We all have times when at the end of a day we throw up our hands and say 'whoop-tee-dooo'.

In spite of all of life's challenges, some hopeful words peek through that book. Here are a few of them ...

"God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy"

"With all wisdom and insight he (God) has made known to us his will ..."

"...whatever God does endures..."

"...it is God’s gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil"

"Consider the work of God ..."

"God made human beings straightforward ..."

Ecclesiastes is worth the reading just to mull over.
