The Rarest of Commodities
The Rarest of Commodities: Righteousness and Wisdom in a Fallen World
Foundational Truths: Ecclesiastes 7, 9, and 12
Ecclesiastes draws a sharp contrast between two kinds of people:
• The sons of God: the righteous, the wise, and those whose works are directed by God.
• The sons of men: those who live without God, driven by schemes and worldly wisdom.
Solomon explores what is rare in a fallen world — uprightness, godly wisdom, and righteous living. He tested everything under the sun, seeking wisdom through human experience, and discovered that apart from God, life is vanity and striving after wind. Ultimately, he teaches us that wisdom is not found through effort, but given by God — and living with reverence for Him is man's true purpose.
The rarest commodities in this world are not gold, diamonds, or influence — they are righteousness, wisdom, and a life lived under the fear of God.
So don't just learn about truth. Let truth transform you.
Let wisdom be more than an idea — let it be your way of life.
And remember: the hand of God is upon those who fear Him.
"Run with what He gives you. Rest in His hand. And remember that the wisest life is the one that lives for His glory."
