When your life is over, what will matter most about the way you lived? After examining everything people spend their lives pursuing, Solomon concludes Ecclesiastes with a simple truth: Fear God and keep His commandments.

Have you ever felt like you're falling behind simply because someone else seems to be moving ahead? Ecclesiastes reminds us how easily comparison can steal the joy of what God has entrusted to us.
