Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NASB2020

Guard your steps as you go to the house of God, and approach to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil. Do not be quick with your mouth or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. For the dream comes through much effort, and the voice of a fool through many words. When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow! It is better that you not vow, than vow and not pay. Do not let your speech cause you to sin, and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice, and destroy the work of your hands? For in many dreams and in many words there is futility. Rather, fear God.

In Ecclesiastes, the author attempts to find meaning and purpose in life. As we read, we see anguish and regret over failed attempts at happiness through wealth, fame, and achievement. Ultimately, he realizes that the purpose of humanity is to know God and enjoy what God has given us. Only God can provide the fulfillment for which our hearts and souls long.

Uncluttered Faith

5 Days

We hear a lot about “minimalism” these days. But what does Jesus have to say about owning less? Quite a bit actually. Joshua Becker digs into Scripture to show us that minimalism has been God’s invitation all along because it makes space for more time, more money, more faith, and more spiritual benefits. Discover a deeper joy and richer sense of purpose as you hold onto less and receive even more.
