“For in an abundance of wisdom is an abundance of frustration, and the one who increases in knowledge also increases in sorrow.” Ecclesiastes 1:18
It often seems that the foolish find more joy in life than those who see the vanities and brevity of life in this world. And those who are wise enough to see the end result of human endeavors and ambitions also know with it grief and sorrow, for they see that all who do not repent of their sinful ways and trust in Christ Jesus are headed toward eternal death and damnation rather than life eternal.
Grant me wisdom, O God, that I might see and understand the end of human endeavors, but also grant me joy in knowing that in Christ Jesus there is forgiveness and life eternal. Amen.
