S – There is nothing better for a person than to eat, drink, and enjoy, his work. I have seen that even this is from God’s hand, 25 because who can eat and who can enjoy life apart from him?
Ecclesiastes 2:24–25 CSB
O – Commentary:
In view of the impermanence of the fruits of a man’s toil, Solomon recommended that a man enjoy its fruits (eating and drinking are only metaphorical for partaking of all its fruits) and find satisfaction in his work (cf. 3:13; 5:18; 8:15) as he himself had done (2:10). However, he warned that this was possible only if God enabled one to do so: without Him, who can eat or find enjoyment? Moreover, he warned that God only enables those who please Him to do so
“Ecclesiastes,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – Solomon’s journey reveals the presence of God in all that we do. It reminds us to be grateful for all God gives us because it all comes from Him.
R – Heavenly Father, you are my God and my Lord. Thank you for all that you provide for me and my family today. Without you, my life has no meaning and purpose. With you, I am empowered to be who you created me to be and gifted to accomplish your will.
