24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html 25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.' audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html Remember. The conclusion is to make God your prime reference point for living. Live for God. Make your decisions in light of what He considers to be right and wrong. This is the only way to find real meaning in life. A right relationship with God, in any age, through the way He has made, 'faith in Jesus Christ brings the only abiding satisfaction, even unto 'eternity future'. What a difference between the man “under the sun” and the man “in Christ” seated in the heavenlies far above all suns! Where are YOU, Adam, Eve????? Amen. Amen.
