After a life of experimenting with work, pleasure, possessions, power and an assortment of other things under the sun, Solomon reaches his final conclusion: fear God and obey His commands. That’s it.

It’s living into the truth of what Christ did for us and recognizing what we couldn’t do for ourselves.
