Ecclesiastes 8:1-17 - The King Doesn't Answer to You
God has placed authorities over us, and wisdom teaches us to submit to them rather than rashly or defiantly oppose them. We should be slow to presume that we understand the consequences of their decisions—or even the right time and manner in which to respond. That same humility prepares our hearts to respond to God's providence: His rule may at times seem perplexing, oppressive, or unjust to us, but we do not see the whole of His purposes. Therefore we should fear God, trust His wisdom, patiently endure what He gives us, and refuse to envy or imitate the wicked, knowing that God's final judgment will vindicate the righteous and bring the wicked to account.
