Ecclesiastes 9

What happens:
- Solomon talks about death and about wisdom.

Meaning:
- Death - we don't wknow what will happen tomorrow so we should live for today. Enjoy the short life we have.
- Wisdom - it is better to be wise. If you are wise and rich people will listen to what you say. If you are poor you will never be heard no matter how wise you are. (Africa?)

Stuff for us:
- We need to not worry so much about the future but concentrate on the here and now otherwise we'll miss the now.
- As rich people (compared to the poor in Africa) we have to give a voice to those who are too poor to have their voice heard.

Whats going on
- Solomon talks about the future, destiny, wisdom which is better than strength


Stuff to take away
- We need to live in the present rather than living in the past or in the hopes and dreams for the future
- we can make a difference, no matter what age or ability - it might not always be noticed but God sees.
