The Great Writer's Words

I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone. 
You never know when your time is coming. Like birds suddenly caught in a trap, like fish caught in a net, we are trapped at some evil moment when we least expect it. (Ecclesiastes 9:11-11) Good news translation 

Came across this bible verse and was amazed that the things happening in our society now, was written about many years ago by a great writer, King Solomon. A society were your opinion doesn't matter to those at the top, a society that your intelligence, your first class degree can't fetch you a good job. A society were the capable hands don't rise to the top and so on.

I read further on verse 13-17 of the scripture;
13 There is something else I saw, a good example of how wisdom is regarded in this world. 14 There was a little town without many people in it. A powerful king attacked it. He surrounded it and prepared to break through the walls. 15 Someone lived there who was poor, but so clever that he could have saved the town. But no one thought about him.[c] 16 I have always said that wisdom is better than strength, but no one thinks of the poor as wise or pays any attention to what they say. 17 It is better to listen to the quiet words of someone wise than to the shouts of a ruler at a council of fools. (Ecclesiastes9:13-17)

These words are really true, don't look down on anybody. Who knows tomorrow. Am so sorry it's been a week I posted, I never wanted to be away that long but circumstances made it so. Have a blessed week ahead. I love you guys plenty.
