Ecclesiastes 8:1-15

III. A wise man will look at life with God's wisdom and will focus on
- obeying God and
- enjoying the gifts God sovereignly gives and takes away.
(part 4 - chapter 8:1-15)

HOW CAN WE LIVE WISELY?

1) Obeying the authority (:2-5);

2) Learning to accept hurt, learning to see pain as a part of the life (:10-13);

3) Trusting in future justice (:10-13).

BIG CONCLUSION (:14-15)

1) Do not look at external circumstances - they are not indicatives of God's approval or disapproval.

2) BE JOYFUL!
