It took me about 4 minutes to read this passage. In verses 7 through 10 Solomon gives us some very sound, though rather unusual, advice on how to conduct ourselves before God. In verse 8 he advises that we dress up. Deck oursleves out for a celebration. The question is; a celebration of what? Not a celebration of our coming death. Not a celebration as a reason to indulge in drunkenness and debauchery. Make it a celebration of thanks to God; for he has given us all our provisions. Celebrate the life and purpose that God has given us through Jesus. Celebrate God's presence in our lives; the God who want to be near us. Celebrate Gods Almighty.
