I devoted myself to search for understanding
and to explore by wisdom everything being done under heaven. I soon discovered
that God has dealt a tragic existence to the human race. I observed everything
going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:13-14
And this is not all that is meaningless in
our world. In this life, good people are often treated as though they were
wicked, and wicked people are often treated as though they were good. This is
so meaningless! So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for
people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will
experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the
sun. In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people's burdens
here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night. I
realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not
even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim. Ecclesiastes
8:14-17
Where is your search for Wisdom taking you?
Are you even looking for it—or are you trying to discover everything? Do you
think you can live without wisdom? Think about that today…and in the meantime…eat,
drink and enjoy life.
Prayer
~ Lord God, help me as I search for Wisdom to not get so bogged down with
searching that I forget to live life to its fullest here and now—giving You the
glory and honor that You deserve. You are the source not only of Wisdom, but of
life itself. Help me to remember that moment by moment…day by day…year by year.
