Life is full of seasons we don’t choose and moments we can’t control, so it often feels confusing and unfinished.

We move from joy to sorrow, from gain to loss, unable to stop time from pushing us along. Yet we still long for something more whole, lasting, and meaningful than life under the sun.

Solomon tells us this ache is no accident: God has put eternity in our hearts. Our restlessness isn’t meant to crush us but to draw us back to Him. To recognise that He is God and we are not, and that only He can satisfy our deepest hunger.

In the end, Ecclesiastes shows that this ache is an invitation to trust the One who holds time, to fear Him rightly, and to find in Him the life we were made for.
