We are told by the world that if we have good looks, great qualifications, special talents, good experience, practice good wisdom, and if we work hard, then we will always come out on top by winning life’s race by getting the jobs we desire and one day we will live to a ripe old age. Yet we read in Ecclesiastes 9:11, that “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong…”
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to 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 happeneth to them all.
