Ecclesiastes 9:11
Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
There’s no “secret to success” that always works. No matter how fast you are, strong you are, or smart you are, you’re still subject to circumstance. God is ultimately the one who determines the course your life will take, not you… which is something to be thankful for. It means that the battle isn’t yours to fight, and that the things beyond your control are in the most capable hands of all. Good and bad will fall on you; that’s how it is for everyone in this broken world. But because of the cross, no matter what good or bad happens to you here, you have an eternal seat at God’s table, where you’ll never have to struggle again.
