1 | Wisdom vs Wisdom | OT general | jr8 | 121734 | ||
Wisdom vs Wisdom I have read the book of Proverbs and found it to be very interesting and motivating in seeking wisdom, working hard, etc. Then I started to study Ecclesiastes and the first 3 chapters have me confused. It seems wisdom and are hard labor is in vain and meaningless. Is the Wisdom of Proverbs different wisdom then that of Ecclesiastes ? How and any thoughts for me as I study this book. May God bless all |

2 | Wisdom vs Wisdom | OT general | Rowdy | 121735 | ||
It's thought that Solomon wrote 3 books and wrote several of the Psalms. It appears he wrote the Song of Solomon early in his life when he was giving his life to pleasure with a multitude of women and wives. He probably wrote some Psalms and Proverbs relatively about the same time. Whereas it is thought he wrote the Ecclesiastes late in his life. You remember God promised him a long life and one of unsurpassed riches and wisdom. God kept his promise about riches and wisdom but Solomon didn't keep his relationship sacred like his father David. So it appears Solomon grew melancholy because he had allowed himself to experience every form of sin known to man along with all the attempts at being Godly. I think the book of Ecclesiastes is especially appropriate for us as modern people on earth today, as it speaks to people who are incredibly successful and have reached a high point in development by human standards but yet seem to be lacking something. That something is God. I've touched on this subject as have several others. We're all worried that our country is following the footsteps of previous nations who left their God, i.e. the Roman Empire. Hopefully, we can turn this situation around and rediscover our Godly roots as a nation. God bless. --Rowdy |
