Ecclesiastes 11:7-8
Excerpted from: Ecclesiastes and the Feast of Tabernacles (Part 2)Light is a symbol of the goodness of life, or we might say joy in this context. He is saying that life is just not good of itself, but it is to be savored with enthusiasm as one might enjoy honey.
Life is good, but he said it could even be better. This is quite a change from the beginning of the book, where he said life was frustrating and meaningless and absurd. Now he is saying it is not that way at all. But the difference is that God is involved in the life that is good and things will work out for the good. God will be the one who takes the frustration out. It comes as a result of His Spirit.
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.
