Text: Ecclesiastes 7:1–29 Theme: The Benefits and Boundaries of Wisdom Summary: Wisdom can help us live well, but it doesn’t provide all the answers. Only God is in control.

Analysis of Chapter

• The benefit of a good name; of death above life; of sorrow over vain mirth. (1-6)

• Oppression, anger, and discontentment. (7-10)

• Advantages of wisdom. (11-22)

• Experience of the evil of sin. (23-29

Questions:

• Where do you seek wisdom most often: prayer, people, or possessions?
