🔑 *KEY VERSE:*
"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not for the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happened to them all." Ecclesiastes 9:11
📖 *TODAY'S READING:*
Ecclesiastes 9:9-12
📜 *ONE YEAR BIBLE STUDY PLAN*
Deuteronomy 17-20
*COMMENTARY*
In our text today, the Preacher inferred that there is a place for swiftness, strength, wisdom, understanding, and skill in the affairs of life. However, as good as these capabilities are, he asserted that they do not necessarily determine the height we can attain in life. Rather, our attitude the way we manage these capabilities in a given season and the context of the opportunities embodied in such season is what determine the kind of result they deliver to us. So, excellence in life does not necessarily answer to human capabilities like swiftness, strength, wisdom, understanding, skill, etc. Thus, the two major variables on which excellence in life is predicated are Time and Opportunity; and our attitude towards them matters a lot.
Time and chance happen to them all. Every one of us is given time. In that time are embodied opportunities; for no season of life comes barren. Yet, being in a particular season does not guarantee that one must access all the benefits embodied in such a season. Proper understanding of such a season, how the opportunities embodied in it could be accessed, and aligning our actions accordingly are the three attitudinal factors that guarantee success. Put differently, our attitudes determine the level of excellence we can attain in life. If we have great capabilities and go on to excel incredibly in life. Time and opportunities stare you in the face every other moment. Never waste them!
