Growing In The Knowing - Ecclesiastes 8

As the pinnacle of God’s creation order, we humans are uniquely positioned in the world to rule and reign as His subjects; yet, because of the Fall we do it imperfectly. This leaves us feeling frustrated at so much we don’t understand, and to the point that we often doubt that God is at work. In this “aside” within Ecclesiastes, the reader is confronted with the reality of not being able to know everything in this life and yet called to pursue wisdom and live in a way that honors God in the process. Wisdom is Knowing the King’s Word (v.1-9)Wisdom is Knowing the King’s Judgment (v.10-13)Wisdom is Knowing the Knowable King’s Unknowable Ways (v.14-17)
