“Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.”
I’m not sure where old King Solomon is coming from here. Read one way, this verse is very fatalistic.
I don’t believe in fatalism. I believe that life is dynamic, and full of promise. As a minister told me years ago when I was a young man: “Just all of you, given to all of Him, will make your life all God ever planned it to be.”
