Ecclesiastes 7:11

Ecclesiastes 7:11 “Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.”

— Ecclesiastes 7:11

✦ Golden Insight

“The truth at the heart of this verse

Provision in the hand is safest with discernment in the heart.

✦ Frame of Silver

“The context and setting that shapes its meaning”

An inheritance may place much into a man’s hands, but possession does not teach him how to use it. Resources can enlarge opportunity without enlarging character. Solomon therefore joins what is received with the wisdom needed to steward it. The greater question is not merely what has been given, but whether the heart is prepared to hold it rightly.

✦ Fruit of Christ

“How this truth bears fruit in a life following Christ”

Christ teaches us to receive every earthly gift without asking it to become our treasure. In Him, provision can remain provision—something entrusted, enjoyed, and stewarded—while the heart rests in a greater Portion.
