Much Study

"Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments."

-Ecclesiastes 12:5 (NIV)

After examining all that is done under the sun, this was Solomon's conclusion. It seems to be especially appropriate for me now as I devote my energies for a time to the study of some minute details of the natural world, a pursuit that I must keep in perspective. The Artist responsible for the small subjects of my studies neither devoted much print to entomology nor did He mandate its pursuit. Athough He cared to be so abundantly creative within the order Insecta, His emphasis to us is our relating to Him. My priorities should reflect this.
