ecclesiastes 2:11

so earlier in the middle of all this, i was laying on my back stareing at the sky asking god why, was i good enough, does he really want to use me, what do i have of worth, what should i do, how does he see the good in me? ext ext for some reason this verse came to mind, i dont even know if ive ever read it but i was pretty sure all i heard was ecclesiastes 2:11. of course i forgot, and went and blogged my heart and put my own opinions first before asking god. But then i remembered the verse and just read it, and then couldnt stop and read all of eccesiastes.

here is some things that stood out to me

2:11 then i looked on all the works that my hands had done and on the labour in which i had toiled, and indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. there was no profit under the sun.

4:2-3 therefore i praised the dead who were already dead, more than the living who are still alive. YET, better than both is he who never existed who has never seen the evil work done under the sun.

4:13 better a poor and wise youth, than an old king who will be admonished no more

5:20 for he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because god keeps him busy with the joy of his heart

6:3-5, 11

7:3 sorrow is better than laughter for by a sad countenance the heart is made better

7:5 it is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to listen to the song of fools

7:10 do not say why were the former days better than these for you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

8:17

9:11-12

11:5 as you do not know the ways of the wind, or how the bones of grow in the womb of her that is with child, so you do not know the works of god who makes everything

11:9-12:7

12:12-14

12:13-14 LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THIS MATTER
FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMANDMENTS
FOR THIS IS MANS ALL
FOR GOD WILL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT
INCLUDING EVERY SECRET THING
WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL
