The things God does so that people will fear Him

Solomon noticed that in every activity of man under the sun, God is there! That men cannot and could not escape God. Though men will fill their lives with foolishness, madness, and lies, though they won’t believe and fear God, though they will live their own way, the absolute truth is that men will all give account to God, whether they believe in God or not. Because of this absolute truth, it is much better to fear, serve, and obey God than to suffer his wrath for eternity. God, in His wisdom, did this for men to realize and help us to reverently fear God in all our activities under heaven.
