I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2375 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.\n\nIn today\u2019s Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we\u2019re continuing our exploration of the book of Ecclesiastes. We\u2019ll be delving into Ecclesiastes 6:10-12 from the New Living Translation.\n\nEcclesiastes 6:10-12 (NLT):\n\n10 Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there\u2019s no use arguing with God about your destiny.\n\n11 The more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they?\n\n12 In the few days of our meaningless lives, who knows how our days can best be spent? Our lives are like a shadow. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?\n\nAcceptance of Destiny:\n\nSolomon begins by acknowledging the predetermined nature of human destiny. He says that everything has already been decided, and it was known long ago what each person would be. Therefore, there\u2019s no use arguing with God about your destiny.\n\nThe Futility of Many Words:\n\nSolomon then reflects on the futility of many words. He observes that the more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they?\n\nUncertainty of Life:\n\nHe contemplates life\u2019s uncertainty, noting our existence\u2019s brevity and meaninglessness. Solomon questions how our days can best be spent in the few days of our meaningless lives.\n\nLife\u2019s Transience:\n\nHe compares our lives to a shadow, fleeting and insubstantial. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\nAs we reflect on Solomon\u2019s words, there are several key takeaways we can glean:\n
