I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Ecclesiastes 7-12.

    There is no one who never sins, and no one who always does what is wise. These two statements are the central insight to today’s passage. The writer tells us to work at doing what is right and what is wise, but we should not let that make us afraid to have fun. God intends for us to enjoy our lives. We should strive to always do what is wise and never sin, but we must accept that we will not be completely successful. If we try too hard to be wise and too avoid sin we will become self-righteous and arrogant. In like manner, we should study to become educated and wise, but we can study too hard and too much. We should study in order to better serve God, but we should not make study an end in itself.
