Book of Ecclesiastes | Wk 24 | Wise Response To Government |
In today’s message, we see that God has “set up” man in order to fully enjoy life under the sun. Man needs simply to buy in to God’s ingredients to make this happen: (1) Taking divine viewpoint, and (2) Walking in the fear of the Lord. This involves trusting the Lord in all areas, and not coming up with our own self-defensive schemes. One such area that people come up with their own self-defensive and self-reliant schemes is when they disagree with or oppose civil government. Solomon will tell us that this approach to life under the sun is not reflective of a wise man, but rather indicative of one walking the path of folly and foolishness. Ecclesiastes 7:29-8:5
