I’m currently teaching a class at our church on Ecclesiastes, in which the Preacher constantly puts before the reader the futility of warring against the hard-as-nails reality God has established in the created order of life. The fundamental question of Ecclesiastes, and perhaps all the Wisdom Literature, is this: Will we bend ourselves to conform to God, or will we assert our own authority and attempt (without success!) to bend reality to conform to us?
