King Solomon, once the wisest man, reflects on his life in Ecclesiastes 2 and reveals a troubling drift from his calling. Despite possessing unparalleled wisdom, he sought to gratify his flesh with wine, leading him away from God and His purpose.
Solomon realized that the pursuit of pleasure ultimately left him feeling empty. He even declared that wisdom seemed pointless if it led him to the same fate as a fool. Though his initial request for wisdom was to judge others rightly, he failed to apply that same discernment to himself.
This reveals a common human tendency: we often recognize right and wrong in others but struggle to see it in ourselves.
Today, ask God for the wisdom to discern not only the world around you but also your own heart. That kind of wisdom will keep you anchored in the calling God has placed on your life.
It’s time to pray.
