Wisdom Of The Teacher For College Students, Ch. 5.Sample

The solution to the problems of wealth we looked at yesterday is to be content with what the Lord gives us each day! That seems easy enough, right? We all know that it is tough to live that way in our modern culture. 

The good news is that it wasn’t easy then either! Yet, we once again find this as the nugget of greatest value from the one called the Teacher! Learning how to be content and yet to continue to work hard every day is the way to achieve lasting fulfillment.

The Teacher doesn’t condemn those who have wealth. Those who have lots must see that as a gift from God that is to be managed and enjoyed rather than becoming a consuming fire of greed for their lives. Whether we have much, or we live on a little, the key is to realize everything is a gift from God that is meant to be enjoyed and shared with others!
