“I know that it will go better with those who fear God” (8:12). The “Teacher” knew that humans seek justice, but “time and chance” interfere (9:11). Wisdom includes recognizing that our fallen world doesn’t always make sense. But rather than giving in to apathy or despair, we still work hard for good: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” (9:10). We can invest our efforts with hope, leaving the results in God’s hands. With humility and thanks, we enjoy His good gifts   and “eat food with gladness” (9:7).

We wait eagerly for the day when God makes all things right (Rom 8:18-25). Until then, we trust that God is working “all things for our good” (Rom 8:28).
