Abraham was given the promise of a land for his children to inherit. The same promise was made to Isaac and Jacob. Joseph the son of Jacob looked forward to the time when God would turn that promise into reality. The story of the nation of Israel is tied to the inheritence. Christians have a similar promise of an inheritence. In verse 29 Solomon displayed the truth that a troublemaker at home receives the wind as his inheritence. We all know that none of us can claim the wind as our own. We can't mark out our boundry or depend on a breeze for our comfort. We can't hang a sign on the wind when we are home. The wind has some use, but its not fixed and its always moving.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this collection of wisdom.
