Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:8
Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”
When people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Everything is meaningless!”
Remember your creator: Practical advice leads straight into the author's conclusions. If life is long, rejoice in it. Rejoice in the light before the dark night of death begins. Let the young rejoice in their youth, always mindful of God who calls us all to account. Don't wait till old age. Don't wait till life has become futile and empty and there is nothing ahead but death. Fear God - hold him in awe - and obey him.
V 8 brings the Philospher full circle. He ends as he began; all is useless, utterly futile.
Why?
Remember our creator in the days of my youth. For our life is to find pleasure in Him.
In our life, remember to banish anxiety from my heart and cast off the troubles of my body for there is judgment after we passed away.
Lifetime is limited so be aware, nothing can stand forever, the dust returns to the ground it came from. All of our journals have the same destination.

為什麼人要有信心的冒險?交託給神?因為1.一切的事神必審問，人要對神交帳。2.當紀念敬畏造你的主。a)人是被造的，不是偶然的，有神的計劃、目的。b)造我的是主，善盡我的本份。
12:2-7 描述人年老的光景。有人說死之前信主就好了，但是到了年老的時候已經來不及了，想到也無法改變了。視力、聽力、口齒已經不聽使喚了，想要重來已經晚了！
當趁耶和華可尋找的時候，尋找祂！

How?
Everything in the world is meaningless!
