From Solomon, who invested a great deal of time learning and imparting wisdom. Solomon in the opening chapter says, “12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be [e]exercised. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.” (Eccl. 1:12-14). Solomon probably as much as anyone in human history, was positioned to be able to look at human pursuit and evaluate all of the things that men chase after. Brother Cosner opens the scripture and teaches a simple but powerful message that has its roots in the closing words of the wise man. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil” (Eccl. 12:13-14).
