Wisdom for Life's Unexpected Roads

In our journey through Ecclesiastes, we're confronted with the stark reality of life's unfairness and the certainty of death. But far from leaving us in despair, this message challenges us to respond with wisdom and faith. The story of Captain Sully's heroic Hudson River landing serves as a powerful metaphor for how we should act, not merely react, in the face of life's unexpected challenges. We're reminded that as believers, our response to injustice and mortality should be rooted in our fear of God, not in bitter complaints or rash decisions. Instead of being paralyzed by life's unfairness, we're encouraged to live uprightly, enjoy God's good gifts, and maintain our testimony even in difficult times. This perspective shift invites us to view our lives through an eternal lens, recognizing that while we can't control every circumstance, we can control our response - choosing to act with purpose and faith rather than simply reacting to our surroundings.
