Wisdom Of The Teacher For College Students, Ch. 11Sýnishorn

The Teacher returns to the theme of not being able to know everything in verse 5. Especially when it involves the work of God. The Teacher uses the miracle of birth as an example here. God makes everything, but we can’t really explain how or when the spirit of a person comes into the growing child in the womb. So, we can’t wait until we are certain of all things before we act in life.

Therefore, we must go ahead with our work whenever we have a chance to do it. We don’t really know if this is the best time or not. We don’t know if it will be successful or not. We don’t know if this company or that company will be a better fit for us or maybe even both would be awesome! Sometimes, we just have to go ahead and, like Nike says, “Just Do IT!”.
