7. Ecclesiastes Life Under the Son (ch. 5:8-6:12)

1. 5:19 says EVERYTHING is a gift from God. Where in my life and thinking does my pride sneak in focus my attention on what I have done or accomplished?

2. Ecclesiastes 6:7 states that “all the toil of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not satisfied.” Why does our physical labor allow us to feed and clothe ourselves, yet not have the ability to satisfy our souls? What is missing? How can you relate to this?
3. Ecclesiastes 6 presents a seemingly pessimistic view of life. How can you reconcile this with a hopeful perspective on life?
4. What is something that stood out to you today that you can carry into your coming week or change a practice?
