Oh man, Solomon is feeling very morbid in today's passage. He seems to be a little obsessed with death at this point in time. Whilst I agree with him that we should be deeply conscious of our own mortality, I don't think an unhealthy obsession with dying is going to make us 'LIVE' a more fulfilling life.
I would rather suggest that we know that our days are in the Lord's hands and appreciate every day as a gift from God. This can then motivate us to seize every moment as an opportunity to glorify God and live an abundant life.
"It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure." - Ecclesiastes 7:2-4
“Every moment of the day there should be someone shouting from the rooftops, "Life, enjoy it while you can.”
