3-1-08 Ecclesiastes 2:26 Gof Gives Wisdom, Knowledge, and Joy
Ecclesiastes 2:26 (NAS)
For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 2:26 (NLT)
God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him. But if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away and gives it to those who please him. Even this, however, is meaningless, like chasing the wind.

The Lord God's benefits are pleasant and good. When you need favor, He grants it. When you center yourself in His will, He gives you abundant joy and delight. Your welfare, prosperity, and happiness are uppermost in His heart.
To bring you fulfillment in these areas, He gives you wisdom, teaching and instructing you in the principles that will bring you success. This wisdom will never wear out or become old, but it will allow you to enjoy all of God's benefits to the full.
With the wisdom, He gives you knowledge, discernment, perception and understanding. Through experience, you begin to acknowledge and confess those things that Jehovah has revealed to you concerning your life. As you walk out His plan and purpose for you, your joy, mirth, and gladness increase. You will find pleasure in things that would seem impossible to others. Soon you will discover that your life is a happy one.
However, the sinner has forfeited these blessings. He has missed the right way and has incurred guilt, condemnation, and punishment through his actions and choices. The Lord God gives this man only work and busyness. He becomes afflicted and oppressed, depressed and downcast. Adonai allows this to humble the sinful man. In his weakness, he will repent and turn to the Almighty for help and deliverance.
The sinner, who continues in his own way, gathers and collects things. He believes that in this he is safe and secure. He does not realize that what he has gathered will be given to others. The fruit of his work is empty and vain; it passes as quickly away as a breath and a vapor. His longing and striving leads only to feed and pasture the Lord's flock.The good man, who has placed his trust in the Lord, will receive the benefits of all of the sinner's labors.
