Ecclesiastes 9:7-10
"So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil."Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom."
I'm still reading through the Bible in a Year, and have just got to Ecclesiastes - one of my favourite books in the Bible. So much wisdom in there, and I love that it's not philosophy apart from God, like so much thinking these days. This is real wisdom, with God firmly in the picture.
I wonder what amazing wisdom Solomon might have come up with if he'd had a little more of a concept of heaven? He's certainly one person I'd love to chat to sometime. Or more likely: sit at his feet and listen quietly while my mind is blown!
