In this chapter of Ecclesiastes, we find the battle between choosing wisdom over folly. This is the challenge we face each day in choosing God's way over our own.
We need to concentrate on balance and purpose. When we exercise wisdom we find balance. In applying God's word to our lives every day we find our purpose.
As fathers we are faced with the daunting challenge of leading through the inconsistencies of our time, learning to do so by manifesting fatherly love through a Christ-like life.
Happily ever after happens only when two people submit to one another. Love then, is the choice - realizing that it is the doorway to long-term success.
