11/30 - Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 | An Old King's Q&A

Ecclesiastes 1:12–18 reminds us that even the greatest wisdom and knowledge can’t satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Solomon discovered that chasing understanding apart from God only leads to frustration, pride, and grief. This Advent, we’re invited to lay down the idol of intellect—our desire to find fulfillment in information, insight, or being “right”—and prepare room for Christ, the true source of wisdom. Only in Him are our questions anchored, our desires met, and our purpose restored. As we put away the lesser things that distract us, we make space to behold the wisdom of God in Jesus and to find the joy that worldly knowledge can never give.
