Chasing Knowledge Doesn’t Save Us
Ecclesiastes 1:18
“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.”
What the Teacher Observes
Learning, thinking, and understanding more doesn’t always bring peace. Sometimes it makes us more aware of what’s broken.
Why It Feels Heavy
We’re taught that answers will fix us — more information, more research, more insight. But knowledge alone cannot heal the heart.
Where God Restores Meaning
God never intended wisdom to replace dependence on Him. Knowledge is helpful, but it must be held with humility. Peace comes not from knowing everything, but from trusting God with what we don’t.
Gentle Practice
Give your mind permission to rest today.
You don’t need to solve everything.
Prayer
Lord, quiet my thoughts. Teach me when to seek wisdom and when to simply trust You. Amen.
