Ecc 8:16-17 “When I applied mine heart to know wisdom,
and to see the business that is done upon the earth… Then I beheld all the work
of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because
though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further;
though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.”
Many equate wisdom (human knowledge) with success and
eventual happiness, believing academia means one is among society’s elite and
bight (thus making them successful). However, according to Solomon, that couldn’t
be further from the truth (Ecc 1:13; 17)
Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, made it clear to
everyone listening: if a man had access to all the world’s wisdom, man would
still know very little, for no one can comprehend God and all that He knows or
has done. Fact: There will always be
more questions than answers…
Thus, what we don’t know should not cast a shadow over what
we can know (our faith). Meaning: We should not let what we don’t know hinder
what we can know through God’s word, as God us ultimately in control of all things.
You don’t have to understand God’s will just be willing to surrender to it and
Quit trying to figure out God’s work and just do God’s work.
HSAY… Todd
