I returned and saw under the sun that - The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 (NKJV)
The Preacher rightly portrayed the dilemma facing every sinful nature and mortal being. Time and Chance happen to all. It does not matter what we know, possess, our fame, skill, or accomplishments. Time and Chance continues to confront men, but Christ brought the world assurance and hope that whosoever will believe in Him shall not be at the mercy of time and chance but chance and time will work for our overall and eternal good.
Then I said: “Wisdom is better than strength"...."Wisdom is better than weapons of war";
Ecclesiastes 9:16,18 (NKJV)
This wisdom is embedded in the knowledge of the truth and the application of this truth to our very daily existence. You shall gain divine wisdom when you know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Be encouraged,
