Wisdom and the Unpredictability of Life – Ecclesiastes 9 & 10

Ecclesiastes 9 and 10 sit side-by-side as a powerful reminder of both life’s unpredictability and the lasting value of wisdom. In these chapters, Solomon acknowledges that time and chance happen to us all - yet he also warns that a little foolishness can undo what wisdom builds.

This message unpacks the tension between life’s uncertainties and God’s call to live wisely. From the brevity of life to the danger of pride, from the influence of leadership to the impact of small decisions, Solomon invites us to see how wisdom shapes the way we work, speak, and live in a fragile world.

These chapters encourage us to live with urgency and humility, choosing the path of wisdom even when life doesn’t go as planned.
