Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.
There was a time when Arnold Scwharzenegger was the fittest in his class, but now he is recovering from multiple surgeries. Once upon a time, Tiger Woods was the fittest in golf, but now, he too is facing the daunting reality that he won’t always be the fittest. The same holds true for Alexander the great, who conquered many nations and Nebuchadnezzar who ruled Babylon, and then Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome and yes, The United States.
Those individuals and nations of former years were the “Fittest” in their class in their day, but they did not remain the fittest, nor will we always remain the fittest. God is now offering survival on a permanent basis through Christ, for His work for the human family is both creative and redemptive in nature. Thus, any person who may not be fit today could still survive through Christ.
One may not be the best in his or class, persons may not be the strongest, the most talented, the richest or the brightest, yet, in Christ alone there is to be found hope and survival, not merely for the here and now, but most importantly, for eternity. We beseech you therefore, by the mercies of God, to choose Christ over Darwin for when the dust has finally settled, it will be discovered that it’s not the fittest, but the meekest that will inherit the earth.
Psalms 37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
