Words for the Wise

wisdom-of-solomonWhen I get to heaven, one of the guys I want to meet and chat with is Solomon. I would love to sit down with him and talk over work and career. I'm sure he'd be a great career counselor.

There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God. For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without Him? For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God's sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind. --Ecclesiastes 2:24-26.

Work is not the curse! The Bible is very clear on this point and so is Solomon. Here's to you, Solomon!

May He Increase!
