Growing older and nearing the end of life is often full of uncertainties, a reality we all must cope with as we live putting the Creator before all things (Eccl. 11:1-12:8).

Isaiah 53:10 shows the Father and the Son working together in the crucifixion and the resurrection (c.f. 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Wisdom is indispensable for navigating life (Eccl. 10; Matt. 12:42, Eph. 1:17).

It is difficult to handle what looks like blind chance (Eccl. 9:1-18).

How are we to act when when nothing in life seems to go in an optimal direction? We navigate based upon the wisdom of God (Eccl. 8:1-17 ).

How can we make it not knowing all the answers? Obey God in what you know, and trust Him in the things you don't (Ecclesiastes 7:15-29; Luke 6:47; 1 Peter 3:15).

Good times are often deceptive, but during times of adversity God is often greatly at work, molding us into His image (Eccl. 7:1-14; Rom. 5:2-5).

Reactions and attitudes can offend God, and waste our time; learn from the apostles contentedness, and thanks (Eccl. 5:1-20; Phil. 4:10-13).
