Work while you can because life is short. Enjoy what God provides as the fruit of your labor. Live on purpose knowing that you will give an account for what you have done.

The contrast between wisdom and foolishness appears in many different contexts. God wants His people to walk wisely in this age, doing our best before Him, enjoying His blessings, and leaving the results to Him.

We have every reason to humble ourselves before God. The fear of the Lord brings wisdom and joy in this life regardless of the successes and failures we may face.

Life is fleeting and death is coming. Be diligent in your work and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Finish well in the Lord's grace.

Though this world contains much injustice, still we can trust God and obey His word.

God has provided human government as a means of maintaining justice and peace among people.

Wisdom is valuable, and righteousness is desirable, but foolishness and wickedness characterize our lives. Fearing God provides a way of escape from temptation and ruin.

The fear of the Lord stabilizes our minds in times of disappointment and frustration, when things do not go according to our plans. We can trust God at all times and pray for His good purposes to be accomplished in this age as we look forward to the coming of His kingdom.

An eternal perspective enlightens our lives in this age. Sober-mindedness helps us navigate the good times and bad times of life, always trusting the goodness, sovereignty, and love of our Creator God.

Everything we have comes from God, even the ability to enjoy His good gifts.
