Welcome to Day 2375 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets \u2013 Ecclesiastes 6:10-12\xa0Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2375 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! 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. In 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. Ecclesiastes 6:10-12 (NLT): 10 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. 11 The more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they? 12 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? Acceptance of Destiny: Solomon 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. The Futility of Many Words: Solomon 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? Uncertainty of Life: He 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. Life\u2019s Transience: He compares our lives to a shadow, fleeting and insubstantial. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone? Key Takeaways: As we reflect on Solomon\u2019s words, there are several key takeaways we can glean:

1. Acceptance of Destiny: Solomon encourages us to accept our predetermined destiny, as it was known long ago by God.
2. The Futility of Many Words: He reflects on the futility of many words, noting that the more we speak, the less our words mean.
3. Uncertainty of Life: Solomon contemplates the brevity and meaninglessness of life, questioning how our days can best be spent.
4. Life\u2019s Transience: He compares our lives to a shadow, acknowledging their fleeting and insubstantial nature.

\xa0 Conclusion: So, as we continue our journey, let\u2019s remember to accept our destiny and make the most of our time. Let\u2019s be mindful of the words we speak, and let\u2019s not be consumed by the uncertainty of life. Join me next time as we delve further into the book of Ecclesiastes. Until then, keep seeking wisdom, keep making the most of each day, and keep making a positive impact on the world around you.
