DAY 11 OF 12

ECCLESIASTES 11

THE BREVITY OF LIFE

The Teacher continues to offer proverbs and words of wisdom related to the brevity of life. Because life is so fleeting and vain, there is no reason to be greedy. Instead, be generous and share with charity. Don’t let opportunities to do good pass you by; you never know when your life will end.

Just as we cannot understand every element of conception, we cannot understand God’s ability to create everything. There are some things we will simply never know.

Whoever lives a long life should enjoy their days, while also realizing their days are numbered. If you are young, don’t waste your youth. Enjoy it and live life to the fullest because it is only a short breath.
