Title: Maybe Wisdom is the Answer

Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 2:12 - 16

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Ecclesiastes 2:12-16

After having fun and doing hard work, King Solomon found both to be useless.  So then he thought of wisdom.  It is true that it is better to be wise than stupid, similarly that light is better than darkness, yet in the end the path each one of us take is the same...the result is the same - death.  Whether you're walking to it with wisdom and seeing where each of your step leads you, or you're walking towards it foolishly or with a blind eye.  In the end, the destination is the same and everything we live for in this earth, whether we become famous or not, will be forgotten.  Yes, at times, we will be remembered like our heroes or those who made a difference but then in the end, people will live their own lives and will forget the life you lived.  So there's really nothing that makes one superior than the other, not the way of life, not wealth or wisdom or even the difference he/she makes to others - because in the end, all will be forgotten.  So never think of yourself greater or more valuable than the rest.  Nor should you waste your time doing foolish things, because as Solomon said, it is better to see the path you're taking towards the end than walking to it blindly and foolishly.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, Your words today is deep and I know that it holds greater meaning than how I am able to convey it in my writing.  But Lord one thing I learned today, I am nothing but mere human and there is nothing I do or say or learn that will make me more valuable or important than the rest of us.  I also learned that my end is the same as of any man but your gift to mankind has made my end better.  But still, this should not make me feel or think that i'm better because You've given me eternal life.  Instead, this should remind me that this gift is free for all and all of us still have the same fate in the end because it is given to us by You freely - the choice is in our hands to accept it, whether we accepted it earlier in life or at the last minute of our lives.  So thank You Lord for these wonderful words that will keep me humble and my feet on the ground.  Give me the wisdom to apply them and realize the secrets of Your words.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
