True Joy Comes from God.Ecclesiastes 6:1–6, where Solomon explores the emptiness of life when pursued without God. In these verses, Solomon reflects on the futility of material wealth, status, and achievements if they are not accompanied by true contentment from God. He acknowledges that even those who have everything may still feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled, as joy and peace cannot be found in possessions alone.Solomon emphasizes that true joy and purpose come from God's blessings, including the ability to enjoy life and appreciate what we have. He points out that it is better to find satisfaction in the simple gifts of life that God provides, rather than chasing after fleeting worldly desires.This passage teaches that lasting joy comes from aligning our hearts with God's will, appreciating His provision, and learning to be content with what He has given. It encourages parents to help their children understand that real happiness is not found in wealth or accomplishments, but in knowing and trusting God, who is the ultimate source of true joy.
