Ecclesiastes 11:7

"The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun."The light is pleasant" -i.e. it is good to be alive.

Points To Note:

2 One of the great questions, even for the Christian, is that in view of the hardships, uncertainties and trials in this life, is it good to be alive? God says, "Yes!" 2. "No matter how difficult tasks may become, or how sad the circumstances surrounding life, it is still. good thing to be alive" (Kidwell p. 267). 3. Note: Along with the call for earnest activity, is the call to enjoy life! 4. Yes, there are many hardships in this life, but God feels that it is inexcusable to resent the fact of being alive or to opt for suicide. The only reason that one can enjoy this life in view of all the cynical things that can happen here, is to have one's mind fixed on God and eternal life. God expects the believer to enjoy his or her physical life (Ecclesiastes 2:24; Ecclesiastes 3:12; Ecclesiastes 5:18; Ecclesiastes 8:15).
