March 11, 2018- Sunday-# 643-Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Ecclesiastes 5 KJV
***Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.***
[1] Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
[2] Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
[3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
[4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
[5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
[6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
[8] If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
[9] Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
[11] When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
[12] The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Words to ponder for today:
Be More Ready To Hear
The Preacher’s admonition for all who are willing to listen, effectuate good behavior.
Henceforth, if vividly read,learned and apply into day to day living turns one’s opacity into becoming wise:
I have spotted a clear message that I would like to share to the readers of these thoughts, that we may all be able to obtain a godly living :
* Be discrete in uttering words; unsolicited ideas, suggestions or boastings as in lifting oneself by speaking good for oneself are the ways of fools, and GOD hates foolishness. v. 1-3
* Be devoted to your vows; a person of one word, GOD considers. Let your yes be yes and your no, be no: GOD counted every words that we uttered. He has recompense for every unfulfilled vows and promises.v. 4-7
* Be Down-to-earth in all manner of living. Humility, meekness and lowliness in mind and in attitude is what GOD requires for every believers. No one is able to carry his or her riches unto death.
And yes! [9] Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.v. 8-10
* Be deliberately open minded in giving; sharing goods to others, in the ministry of GOD and even in intreating yourself.
The more increase you have, the more laborer you must hire to work for you, which in return,you should feed and sustain their need. When more blessings are poured and received, it is because there are others in need to help, to respond and shares with. Anyway, all the gain we work for, will be left behind when we died. Make sure it will be given to the rightful needs than to the foolish sons who will only devour them, use them wrongfully, or sustain their foolishness. V. 11-20
When all is well and our conscience is clear, then there is no way we will suffer grief even if GOD allowed us to accumulate riches. Sleep is the best antidote for all stress. Let not foolishness nor riches be a curse to us, otherwise, it is better to be the labouring man in this verse:
[12] The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Let us all who are called the children of the Most High GOD be more ready to hear than to squeal.
Be blessed ever!
Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 KJV
[1] Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. [2] Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. [3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. [4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. [5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. [6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. [8] If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. [9] Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. [10] He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. [11] When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? [12] The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. [13] There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely , riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. [14] But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. [15] As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. [16] And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? [17] All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. [18] Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. [19] Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. [20] For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
