Passage of the Day - June 7, 2011

Ecclesiastes 9:11

¹¹ I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.

What is being said here is that we are not entitled to anything.  No matter our talents or hard work, we are entitled to nothing.  Time and chance controls all (but who controls time and chance)?  Therefore, we should be thankful for everything we receive no matter who we are.
