Today's Reading
Ecclesiastes 4-6; Revelation 11

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: <Ecclesiastes 4; Ecclesiastes 5; Ecclesiastes 6; Revelation 11

Ecclesiastes 4.1-12, Solomom saw oppression, lsbor and its achievements , loneliness and friendlessness. These were all meaningless. V. 13-16 advancement and promotion was also meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 5.1-7 be careful with your tongue and how you make vows. Instead stand in awe of God. In v. 8-20, Solomon should know about wealth, he was the richest man in his time, yet thus was meaningless. Jesus said in Matthew 6.28-29, that Solomon even in all his glory was not dressed like a lily in the field. Jesus was talking about not worrying about your life, or wealth, God will take care of everything in your life.

Ecclesiates 6 continued the discourse on the meaningless of wealth. A man may be wealthy but he cannot enjoy his wealth instead a stranger enjoys his wealth.

Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon was the wisest man in his time, he was famed for using the sword to resolve which of the two prostitutes was the mother of the baby, his wisom in answering the questions from the Queen of Sheba (1Kings 4.29-34; 1Kings 10)

Let us face the fact ALL that companionship, material possessions, wisdom that we have, we CANNOT take it us when we die, except our faith in Jesus Christ. Then in eternal light, all the works, dreams, ambitions and promotions are meaningless IF Jesus Christ is not the Lord and Savior of our lives.
