Ecclesiastes 9:10 AMP [10] Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) where you are going. It is interesting to note how Solomon suddenly switched after talking about vanity in the last 8 chapters. He is admonishing us that whatever work, opportunity,job that we have we should give it our all. He demands excellency, dilligence from us. For there is no influence, impact once we are dead. If it must be done, it must be done well. Solomon is being practical, letting us know that vanity doesnt mean ome shouldnt work or one should be idle, it means we should be working for what lasts and work now than later. He teaches us proper work ethics as believers not to loathe around but work with excellence, do you see a skillful man in his work? He will stand before Kings, thats the level Solomon wants us to attain. Again the need to work now, not procastinate because there is always a time that we cant do all that. He also strikes a balance with the preceeding verse 7he tells us to eat our bread with joy. Enjoy the fruits of our labour, take a rest when you have to and work when there is work to be done. He believed in balance. Our time here on earth is limited, so we need to make good use by doing whats expected of us. Make proper use of our NOW!
