Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
Excerpted from: Ecclesiastes and the Feast of Tabernacles (Part 2)

It is intended that life be enjoyed all life long, but Solomon is saying at the end of verse 8 to take advantage of it now, because the clock cannot be turned back. All that is coming is vanity, death. Verse 9 picks up on that.

Rejoice, but do not forget God! God intends life to be good, but do not forget Him. Does that not mean then that if you do not forget God and you enjoy life that you will enjoy the things that God allows you to have, but you will never allow them to control you; that you will always keep your appetites in check because of your fear of God; because you want to impress Him; because you want to do right and good? And yet you enjoy what God has given. That is what he is talking about.
