This lesson uses the imagery of mountain climbing to remind us that the goal of life is not merely to “reach the summit” of achievements but to make it home safely to God. Solomon, reflecting at the halfway point of his journal, offers three reminders: the past has unfolded under God’s creative authority—He named and ordained everything that exists; the present is under God’s caring sovereignty—arguing with Him is futile, and we are called to trust His wisdom instead of pushing Him aside; and the future rests in God’s comprehensive knowledge—He alone knows what is best for us and what lies beyond this life. Unlike the world that seeks answers in wealth, power, or even astrology, believers are called to trust the Creator who holds past, present, and future in His hands. The lesson concludes that the best way to face life’s climb is to trust God with our past, walk with Him in the present, and look for Him to lead us safely into eternity.
