I heard pastor say something today that I had never heard before from the Bible. He said that the book of Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon after he had come back to God after having been backslidden for a long time. And that the tone of the book and the perspective of the book make it sound like Solomon was writing as one who knew, and who had disregarded, and then returned to the faith of his father.
One thing this tells me is that wisdom is not enough. Solomon had wisdom and still turned his back on God.
Another thing it tells me is that once you have wisdom, you always have it. You do not have to start over from chapter one.
With God, there is always hope of redemption. Whether you are wise or not. Whether you are important or not. If you will turn around and look to Jesus, He will take you back.
There is more to the Bible than we can ever know. God still speaks!
