Wisdom is better than strength

 Ecclesiastes 9:7-18

Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.

but time and chance happen to them all.

Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come.

So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war,  but one sinner destroys much good.

There is no knowing how long anyone has. So work hard and enjoy life while it last, for death cuts us off from all the world has to offer.

Wisdom may not pay, yet it is still worth more than power.

Why?

Life is limited and no one knows their next hour will come, enjoy your life which you work hard-earned.

Wisdom is better than strength and power, it is truth.

How?

Humble me and honor the name of the Lord, what I can have is the grace of the Lord.
