HAPPINESS THAT IS TRUE
When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth even though one sees no sleep day or night, then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it. – Ecclesiastes 8:16 -17
When Solomon started to rule over Israel by receiving God’s wisdom, he was not satisfied and wanted to learn more, so he spent a lot of time trying to learn and gain wisdom. He noticed how hard some people worked and how hard it was for some to truly accomplish anything. Everything that God did in the universe, will never be fully comprehended by us, no matter how hard we try.
Our brain is limited and this is true even of the most brilliant mind. No one can know everything. Over three thousand years later, scientists still cannot figure it all out and they all agree that the more we learn, the more the realization of how little we know. But if we ask the Holy Spirit to give us all the wisdom we need and to help us live to please God, we will be amazed how much we may learn. Because God wants us to prosper, we can live happy lives, by loving Him and being obedient to Him in all we do.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Eternal Father, I am so blessed to be Your child and to enjoy Your presence. Please help me to walk in Your footsteps every day and to always follow Your ways. Show me Your plan for my life and help me inculcate all I need to know to be able to fulfill it. Lord please give me Your godly wisdom so that I may see all things from the correct perspective, understand everything better, be equipped to learn what I need to know and use it properly. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
