How do you measure wisdom & honor? We read in Proverbs 16:16 - "How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!"; and then in 22:1: "A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, favor is better than silver & gold."
So acquiring a good reputation and godly wisdom are a big deal in God's Kingdom! But Solomon has a sad math lesson for the careless soul: did you know that a dab of foolishness can outweigh a bucket of wisdom?
All that King Solomon shares (good & bad) in Ecclesiastes, he's discovered in his search for fulfillment. The king wants to know what makes the world tick?
King Solomon has written about wisdom and now, as we come to chapter ten, he shares some thoughts about foolishness. But of course, the only good reason to think about foolishness is so you can see it coming, & avoid it! From the tenth chapter of Ecclesiastes, let's see what we can see about fools and foolishness!
Five windows on the ways of a fool: 1. When the fool walks (1-3). (in this message) 2. When the fool rules (4-7). 3. When the fool works (8-11). 4. When the fool speaks (12-15) (next Sunday, Lord willing) 5. When the fool parties (16-20).
Solomon makes his point right up front (v.1): even a little foolishness is way too much!
