Description

In a book that rarely veers away from blank negativity and abject realism, the Teacher in Ecclesiastes gives readers yet another reality check:

The fast don’t always win the race nor are the strong guaranteed to prevail in battle. 

The wise don’t always have enough to eat, the brilliant aren’t always rich and everyone is subject to the vagaries of time and chance. 

We simply make the most of the cards we are dealt and find joy where we can.

(It'll come as no surprise that Ecclesiastes is one of the least quoted Old Testament books in the New Testament.)
