Our "Shadow" in Time

For who knoweth what is good 
for man in this life,
all the days of his vain life 
which he spendeth as a shadow?
for who can tell a man what 
shall be after him under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 6:12

"MAN at his very best is only man;....as man is as light as vanity itself, Solomon urges that it is idle and vain for him to attempt to contend with God. He puts it thus in the 10th verse, “Neither may he contend with Him that is mightier than he.

---It is always unwise to contend with one who is mightier than yourself; but when the disparity is so great as between man and God,
the creature of an hour and the self -existent Creator, the poor feeble worm called man and the Almighty Invincible God, — you see at once what folly it is even to think of battling with Him."
Charles Spurgeon
