*A thought*:
If wealth and honour alone could satisfy the soul, then Solomon would have known complete fulfillment. His disappointment can be summed up in the words "All is vanity and vexation of spirit". True joy is found not "under the sun", but above the sun - in God's eternal presence.
*Week #22 Memory Verse*:
Psalm 7:9-10
"O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright
in heart"
