New Albany Presbyterian Church
In a difficult and confusing world, wisdom helps tremendously, though it falls far short of grasping the incomprehensible plans of an infinitely awesome God. In the absence of total comprehension, we fear Him and enjoy His gifts on the way to the grave.
Ecclesiastes 8:1-17 ESV
1. Wisdom’s value in a tough world (8:1-5)
2. Wisdom’s limits in an incomprehensible world (8:6-9,14-17)
3. Wickedness: a terrible long-term strategy (8:10-13)
4. Fear God, enjoy His gifts (8:12,15)
