Wisdom Squandered, Day 19

No one really knows. Read Ecclesiastes 8:14-17.

As Solomon concludes this chapter on wisdom, we see him make an interesting statement. He wants people to understand that, no matter how much they search, they will never truly understand the world. We can try to understand all that God has given us, but we are going to fall short. We simply cannot understand all the things that God understands. We are not God.

No matter how hard we try, we will not ever understand all things the way God does. It’s just simply not the same as what God understands. The sooner we realized that and acknowledge his wisdom, the easier it will be for us. We certainly can try to figure things out, and I believe God wants us to seek and to search, but we have to understand the ultimately true wisdom lies with him and him alone. Are we content to allow God to be the source of wisdom in our lives?
