Wisdom And Frustration, Knowledge And Sorrow, to this day I remember reading this scripture and thinking “then why to I want to understand the Bible”.

Today’s Scripture

Ecclesiastes 1:18 (MEV) For in an abundance of wisdom is an abundance of frustration, and he who increases in knowledge also increases in sorrow.

Now 37 years later I understand it I think… Once one starts growing in the word and learning the word one sees the world with clear eyes. One can see the destruction, self destruction, for the enemy is directing them and they follow.

As a Christian, and growing we should desire to show them the error of their ways. However some do not want to hear it and will not listen. They are wrapped up in the things of this world and do not wish to give them up.

It seems that no matter what one might say to them they turn a deaf ear and a blind eye. Our Father can cause the deaf to hear and the blind to see, that is so true however they have to want to change. Thus comes the scripture Philippians 2:12 (MEV) Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but so much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

When we grow in knowledge we see more of what is wrong but some again do not wish to hear the truth and desire to believe in a lie of the enemy. And yes it does make us sad and more so if it is our family or close friend. No matter what one says they do not wish to hear it.

This why we must let our walk talk. Let them see our Father and Jesus in our lives. Then be ready to answer any questions they might have when their world starts falling apart. Thus 2 Timothy 2:15 (MEV) Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I pray this will help us grow in our Lord for the frustration and the sorrow is seeing others on there way to hell and they do not want to listen. However we must remember that it is their choice and they are the only one that can change it. In the precious name of Jesus I do pray—AMEN!
