In his sermon on Ecclesiastes 11:9–10, Stephen Davey explains Solomon’s fatherly counsel urging young people to enjoy their youth while remembering that all of life is lived before God. Solomon encourages the young to pursue God-honoring interests boldly, but with the awareness that freedom comes with accountability and that every choice matters. He warns against allowing anger, resentment, or rebellion to take root, since life’s disappointments can easily create a hardened spirit. Solomon also cautions young people to flee immoral behavior, reminding them that sin—especially sexual sin—always brings painful consequences despite a culture that pretends otherwise. Davey concludes that youth is a fleeting gift to be enjoyed, invested, and guarded according to God’s design.
