170106

verses read: Ecclesiastes 10:1-10
prayer: 40 minutes

This passage continues to talk about wisdom. And it seems to reverse the stereotyped roles of the world. The rich and powerful are said to be those who are really in poverty and so forth. I can relate to a lot of what this passage seems to say.

The things of this world that define you, that shape you, that give you your riches and comfort or lack of it aren’t really important. It a never ending cycle; once you get something of this world, you only want more of it. It never ends. That is a mystery of life; don’t know a person who doesn’t struggle with it.

Today is FT, going to continue working on my thesis before heading to school in the evening for it. Need to get at least 5 or 6 more pages retyped by the end of the day, have a schedule that I need to keep or I will be in trouble!
