Treasures in Ecclesiastes - Part 5: Morning Musing Over Coffee

credit: Michelle Meiklejohn

Today's passage is one that has long somewhat amused and somewhat puzzled me. It is such a contrast to how many people (myself included) often view life. 

Do not be overrighteous, 

neither be overwise-

why destroy yourself?

Do not be overwicked,

and do not be a fool-

why die before your time?

It is good to grasp the one

and not let going of the other.

Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.

Ecclesiastes 7:16-18
