In this passage, Solomon wrestles with the futility of life and labor when disconnected from God. He laments toiling endlessly, only to leave the fruits of his labor to others. Yet, in the tension, he knows this truth: true joy in life and labor comes when God is at the center. This sermon invites us to reframe our perspective on work and daily living—not as meaningless striving, but as gifts from God to be enjoyed for His glory. When we recognize that every moment and task is an opportunity to worship and depend on Him, we discover purpose, peace, and lasting fulfillment.
