Hi everyone!
So this chapter was about wisdom. As soon as i saw the subtitle i thought of King Solomon.... although he isnt mentioned at all in this chapter Razz
3 "Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart."
Kay whaat?? I dont understand that AT ALL. Sorrow is pain, so how is it better than laughter?? And since when is a sad face good for the heart?? I really dont get that.... if someone does, please explain it to me.
29 "This only I have found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes."
Now this is a verse i understand.
God made everything pure in the begining of it's life. Even Satan was an angel in the begining, right?? It wasnt untill he realized how powerful God was and Lucifer (aka "Satan") wanted that power and God banished him into hell. Thats just like us humans. We are all born as innocent souls, and then Man-kind corrupts us or Satan tempts us into sin. But we have no choice but to become sinners. Everyone sins no matter what. Thats just the way we are, but God wants us to come back to him and turn away from the sin. It's even mentioned in verse 20.
20 "There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins"
umm and yeaa thats all i got!
Bye guys, see you soon!!!

Loads of good stuff in this chapter!

2: It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting.
I thought of this was a way of how God made us rely on him. He always finds a way to connect with his sons and daughters. Unfortunately, we forget sometimes to even thank God in times of happiness and when we do, I just know that God has the greatest feeling in the world. I imagined myself helping my friends, but not receiving thanks. It almost seemed as if my friends just used me for help, rather than to play with me or to spend time with one another. I know that's how God feels. He wants everyone to talk to him, at the very least. We definitely would be more likely to turn to him when we are going through our harsh times, but it is intended for us because he outsmarts sin. God is so great, he uses his enemy against us. As we are tempted by the Devil, do we not turn to God? When we lack faith, there's ALWAYS a way for God to reach out to us and help us regrow our faith. This doesn't only include Christians. God makes sure that there's a time in everyone's life where they could come forth and meet God and his son that he gave us. He's always waiting at our doorstep, for us to finally see the light.

14: When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
God equally has given each of us a time in our lives where we will struggle and many times where we shall live in happiness. As our Father, He can't choose over his children. We are only made equally and he created the Beginning to the End, without a hesitation. He has everything planned for us and we KNOW that we saved and will live in eternal peace in Heaven.

Billy seeks prayer, I don't blame him for being so anxious about his university application. Pray for God to guide him, to calm his heart, and to clear his mind of any regrets.

The main question was What is Wisdom?
Wisom in my opinion is making the RIGHT decisions and being thoughtful of everything you do. Something that really stood out was verse 3. "Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart" At first i wasnt really agreeing with it because i would rather laugh and be happy rather than being sad and being sad. But after i thought about a bit i realized that In the eyes of God, he wants us to feel in our heart and laughing and being happy is like a cover up, sheilding your heart and just trying to feel something, but being sorrow and sad it really feels your heart and you are truly feeling inside your heart. When you are sad because you lost something very precious, you are deeply sad and your heart aches because you are very mournful and you are feeling from you heart.

Idk if that made sense but thats what i got
