Discussion Notes:3
- The author of Ecclesiastes says, about the things he had done in his life, “all was vanity and a chasing after wind.” Doesn’t this life have a purpose? (Day 9)
- Knowledge vs. actions: “On the day of judgment, surely, we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken but how well we have lived.” (Day 9)
- “A man doesn’t know if he is good and virtuous until he has been tried by adversity.” (Day 11)
- How do we know when it is best to act quickly; and when it is best to “consider things carefully and patiently in the light of God’s will?” (Day 12 & 13)
