Ecclesiastes 7:15-29The preacher confesses here that he has sought to analyze all reality and has been able to figure out so little of it. He knows why one man in a thousand does what he does, but cannot understand any women. He sought to understand why certain things have happened, and confesses that really understanding history has proven too far and deep for him. His advice is that living life means striking a balance between winning every argument and always allowing oneself to be thought of as wrong. Sin is in everyone, so sometimes it is impossible to find the just answer to a conflict.
LORD, when we can find no justice, give us the wisdom to trust you to sort things out.
