Ecc. 8

Newnan, Georgia, experienced the power of wind this week. Tornadoes devastated many homes and buildings and uprooted countless trees. A friend lost the woods behind his home and said it sounded like a freight train moving through.

Solomon said, “No one has power over the wind to contain it.” [Ecc. 8:8a] Some translations use the word “spirit” where many also use “wind.” Regardless, it stands to reason that men are incapable of controlling the wind. They can shelter themselves from it, but must bear it or suffer the damage its power can inflict.

When human governments seem to exert power to achieve their own selfish purposes, we must never forget that there is an Omnipotent God in Heaven that can blow their devices down in a heartbeat.
