Ecclesiastes 8

I finished this chapter in about 3 minutes of reading. After being granted great wisdom and having observed the lives of the people around him Solomon makes a profound observation in verses 12 and 13. No matter how long the life of the godless may be Solomon was convinced that that their days will be empty. Those who fear and revere the Lord God will have days full of meaning and purpose regardless of the number. Life is not found in the quantity of anything, but rather is the closeness to God and the amount of worship, love, and service we pour out on others in the name of God.
