Ecclesiastes

I finished reading Ecclesiastes last night. It's a very different sort of book in the old testament because through it all it seems to be asking- 'what is the point?' and then only at the very end does it conclude by saying that the point is to "fear God and keep His commandments" (Ecc. 12:13) It's ok to ask questions. It's ok to think about things. In fact, by including this book, maybe it is encouraging questions and thinking about eternal things.
