Keys to learning
What I am about to share with you are the keys to learning. I know that the title says: Where Can You Find Wisdom? Part Two. Yet, before we dig deep into the bible, we have to stretch out our muscles before we exercise or play sports. But here, we have stretch out our minds and our hearts. The keys to learning are; patience, self-control, perseverance and above all faith. We have to have an open mind towards the knowledge of God and what HE wants us to do. Most of us are lead by the spirit, in most cases, by a promise. Some ignore the fact of God the Father and praise the Son. Yet, we have to praise both of them. Most people consider the fact that Christ is God. But, Christ can not create himself. Therefore, most believe that God can create himself and be born into a body, die and rise to heaven.
Can this be true? It can, if you have faith. Yet, these are the questions that most people will ask a Christian. And most Christians act like they have patience with you, only by their title. If a person who is a "Head Pastor or Head Minister" or "Deacon", "Preacher" they use their title to act as if. They put on a front to make you think that they have self-control, yet they don't. But I shouldn't judge them. For what Christ said: "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Therefore, all I can do for them is; pray.
Because if I don't pray for those who believe in God or Christ Je'sus. Then I am not doing my part and you'll not be doing your part either. More over, we have to have the keys to learn and absorb what we learn. Having patience is the hardest task anyone can ever achieve. If anyone says; "I have patience..." don't test them, wait and see. Having self-control is another hardest task that anyone can achieve. No body can control themselves when there is chaos, nobody, not one. Only God and the Lord has the ability to do so. But, if you can achieve this, then you are ready to lead others. Having perseverance is another hardest task to achieve. Being able to persevere when you are down or when things go bad. You can stand in faith and look forward. Now that you have the keys to learning now we can continue reading about wisdom. In Ecclesiastes Chapter 8: God's Wisdom Remains A Mystery.
Chapter 8: God 's Wisdom Remains A Mystery
Here in verse two to four is just the basic of what we will be learning. As we read into this chapter we will find the secrets to knowing God the Father. I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that regard of the oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? (As you can see, that the writer is speaking about knowing a kings commandment is like of God. If we know God's commandments and promise to keep them and not hide our faces from God nor do we stand upon things that God hates, God will punish us according to his will. And it is not in our place to challenge or rebuke him.) Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgement. Because to every purpose there is time and judgement, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. (Now looking at this we find that, when we keep our promise and follow the law and not brake them, then we will be faced upon how long we will live and when we will face judgement.) For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.(In this verses we know that we are not to challenge God or to temp God for anything. Therefore, if we are lead by a King or the President or a Pri-minister, anyone who is in authority we must not challenge, yet importantly not God. Although, we can challenge man who is in place of authority. Furthermore, if a person who is directed by God has the authority over man. Then we must listen to who is authorized by God.) All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. (The author writes these things because of one thing, as he has seen the face of man, and what man do, he clarifies that the actions we take is really important. When we try to over power another or rule over another, it repeats itself. And if we do evil, we are responsible for the actions that we take.) Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him. (Since we now know that tempting God is not the answer. We now see that when a person does evil deeds. The reward for a wicked person is his day's will prolong, meaning that they may live their life long enough for the judgement. But, they can repent [change their minds]. Yet, if they keep doing what they do and not change. Then in the end they will face their judgement. All men and women must fear God.) But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. There is vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. (When vanity is spoken, vanity is like emptiness, no meaning or for nothing. Yet, the author has a point. When a person who does wicked works against a just man and not fear God in the process, his days will be longer. Unless judgement is brought to him quickly. Like what was said earlier.)
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eye:) (In these verses we find that a man can find solidarity with either herbs, plants and so forth instead of being around men. Yet, today we are focused on socialization. Therefore, in the days before Christ and during the days of Christ, solidarity was always the key to life. If you look at some people of today, most are seeking solidarity. Or solitary time to find peace and recuperate. Moreover, we learn that all men and women are into eating foods that is not good for the body and drinking liquids that doesn't sustain the body that it was meant for. And we learn also that even then and today, there are people who are busy-body that work and play and don't have enough time to find rest.) Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. Now that we close this chapter, we learn that the author witnessed God's work through-out life and claims that man doesn't know or is aware of Gods work. Gods work is always happening, he is always working day in and day out. Day and night God is working his miracles and blessings. If we learn to take a time and sit-back and watch, we will see his works being played out before us. And even with our lives, as Christians, we must learn to be patient and let others move before us. When we do this, we honor God entirely.
