In Eccl 7 I got confused a bit cos earlier Solomon had said everything was meaningless but in Chapter 7:11-12, he says wisdom is good and it preserves those who have it so I thought he was contradicting himself. But I think the more I think about it, I notice he isn’t saying wisdom has no value. Wisdom has limits and it makes us make better decisions, avoid unnecessary mistakes,and navigate life well. It’s God’s Gift to us. However Wisdom cannot stop us from experiencing pain or even death. The things we sometimes expect to save us doesn’t do that. We tell ourselves if perhaps I make all the right decisions then life would work out but sadly life doesn’t work like that. The lesson here for me is that wisdom is something we should pursue but not something we shud depend on. Wisdom can guide me but only God can sustain me. Wisdom can help me understand many things but only God can give my life its true meaning and purpose.
