If you are really righteous, you will use your time on earth helping improve the life of people in need. SeYah Humanitarian Program offers endless possibilities for serving God and man.
“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
We must also keep Ecclesiastes 7:17 in mind, because Solomon continues the thought begun with the warning against being over righteous and over wise: “Do not be over wicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time?” And then verse 18 summarizes the lesson: “Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.”
Putting it all together, Solomon is teaching moderation in all aspects of our life. Don’t be overly righteous, overly wise, overly wicked, or overly foolish. Chasing after extremes will not prolong one’s life or provide the satisfaction one desires.
