Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 Solomon is going to continue railing on money just like he did in our text last week. The problem that we saw last week was that money will always fail to satisfy us. Not only that, but if we love it and make it our god, then it will destroy us. Then we ended last week with the secret to experiencing joy in life. And this secret was to receive all that we have as a gift from the hand of God, giving thanks knowing that all that he gives us is from his mercy and love.But Solomon will never leave us in that place of joy for long.   He is like the guy that can’t stop complaining about things and seeing the problem in everything… including God. In fact in places of this book, though its clear that Solomon knows that God is real, sometimes he doubts if he is good. There are time where he just waves his fist in the air and cries out to God, “God, I don’t like what you are doing. God, this doesn’t make any sense to me.”He is looking back on his life and asking the hard questions, “God, are you really there?” “God, do you really keep your promises?” “God, can I trust you?”
