Hello EPAB. In this chapter of giving wise counsel in view of life's uncertainties, we see in Ecclesiastes 10:2, that the "right hand" is equated to 'wisdom', as the "left (hand)" to foolishness. When we look at the Scriptures, we often see the emphasis of the 'right hand' as it applies to action taken as a result of one's decision ( Matthew 5:30, Matthew 6:3); of being in the place of God's Approval ( Matthew 25:33,34); and of Power & Authority ( Matthew 26:64, Acts 2:33; Revelation 1:16).
So here in Ecclesiastes, to say that "a wise man's heart is at his right hand", implies that a wise, prudent person will always have his heart direct his thoughts, & then his actions towards his 'right hand' (and this is seen as the place of wise & correct action based on sound knowledge & judgement). Are there any then wise in their actions (i.e. always towards the right), or having hearts that are foolish, going to the opposite place (the left) of risk, speculation, with error & regret following?
Yet, as Christians, we are blessed above all, not relying (or, leaning) only on our own understanding as we fully trust in the LORD, only acknowledging Him in all that we do, and we will know how perfectly He directs our paths ( Proverbs 3:5,6).
Hi bro. S. Spencer. Doing fine, thanks for enquiring. Been on vacation for a while & just returned home with plenty of things to attend to. Haven't had much internet while away, so have missed out on a lot of these discussions. Every blessing to you & yours.
Glad to have you back with us. I hope your vacation time was relaxing and peaceful.
We are waiting for our 1st grandbaby to arrive any day within the next two weeks. Pretty exciting.
Plus, we are in the middle of an extensive interior remodel. So, we are working around the work and the worker is working around us. The upstairs should be done in a week or two. Then the stairs. After that the downstairs beginning with the kitchen gutting and walls removed to open it up more since it is a galley kitchen. That will be challenging for us, but hoping the weather is fair these next few months so we can cook and eat outside most days.
Even so, despite the topsy turvy of all this, we are so blessed and thankful to God. Jesus is great and He brings us so much divine blessing every day!
Thanks dear sister for your greetings & yes we had a lovely relaxing time away. Now, as you look forward to almost a new home to live in (after all the works are completed), and your first grandchild on its way, you both certainly have much excitement & joy ahead of you. Trust everything will go according to plan & you will know the Lord's enabling every step of the way ahead. May His Grace & Strength be your daily portion.
