A life well lived Life, the universe, and everything! The love letter from our Creator. The wisdom of Qohelet. But it is debated & ignored! But the book, and its message, is complex – they reward the diligent

Fear the Lord Start at the end! Fear God and keep his commandments (12:13) Live in reverence, not terror! Why: God will bring every deed into judgment! (12:14)

Seize the day The key word is hebel (vapour) Vapour is something. But it is fleeting & impossible to hold onto. Life is fleeting – savour it! See: Eccl. 2:24-26; 5:18-20; 8:15 We all live under the sun!

Conclusion Fear God and remember Him Enjoy each moment as a gift from him. What is stopping you from fully enjoying your life? Seize the day!
