SMITH magazine, an online community that celebrates the joy of storytelling, invited readers to submit six-word memoirs that describe their lives. Thousands responded with brief biographies ranging from the light-hearted Sweet wife, good sonsIm rich to the painful Sixty. Still havent forgiven my parents.
Based on Scripture, I tried to imagine how King Solomon might have summed up his life in six words. As a young man, he could have written: God has given me great wisdom. But in his later years, he might have said: Should have practiced what I preached.
During a reign distinguished by peace and prosperity, Solomon developed spiritual heart problems. When he was old, his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David (1 Kings 11:4). The result was Gods displeasure and a sad end to a previously exemplary life (v.9).
The multiple times Solomon used the word vanity (or meaningless) in Ecclesiastes may indicate his disillusionment about life. This once-wise king who had it all, lost it all, and pondered it all, ended the book with this final conclusion: Fear God and keep His commandments (12:13).
Those are six words worth heeding.
