Today’s Reflection:
When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe man's labor on earth
- his eyes not seeing sleep day or night - then I saw all that God has done.
No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun.
Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning.
Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it.
Ecclesiastes 8.16-17
Solomon, The Teacher, was endowed by God with wisdom exceeding all his contemporaries. Yet, even he realized that what God does can never be totally understood by men. Still, he applied his mind to know wisdom and understand the purpose of man’s labor of life. He did so because – as he had stated earlier – “Wisdom is better than folly.”
So, even though you may not fully understand a subject, search it out as best you can! A thimbleful of understanding is far better than a bucketful of misunderstanding!
This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
Moving on to Romans 3.22: This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference.
