ECCLESIASTES WAS WRITTEN BY SOLOMON AND IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO BE HAPPY IN THIS FLESH LIFE.
Ecclesiastes 5:1 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.
MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE OF GOD.
SOME PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH FOR THE WRONG REASONS.
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT IS TAUGHT THERE. THEY GO FOR REPUTATION.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW.
5:2 Be not rash (DEMAND) with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few (WATCH YOUR MOUTH).
5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD PLANNER; A FOOL TALKS A LOT BUT SAYS NOTHING.
5:4 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.
DON'T MAKE A VOW UNTO GOD AND DON'T PAY IT. IT'S BETTER IF YOU DON'T DO IT AT ALL.
5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay (TO THE FATHER).
5:6 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?
DON'T MAKE PROMISES TO GOD AND THEN SAY TO HIS ANGEL I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities (FOOLISHNESS): but fear (REVERE) God.
IN MANY DREAMS AND MANY WORDS, ALSO THERE IS GREAT FOOLISHNESS: REFERRING TO VERSE 3 ABOVE.
5:8 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.
JUDICIALLY SPEAKING, A COURT THAT IS MESSING UP WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD. HE IS WATCHING.
5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
I OWN IT ALL, SAYS SOLOMON. I'M BLESSED TO HAVE A HELPER TO HELP ME IN THE FIELD. WE ALL NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER.
5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
THE GOODS OF THE LAND IS BETTER THAN SILVER. WHY? BECAUSE YOU CAN EAT THE GOODS, BUT SILVER YOU CAN ONLY LOOK AT IT.
5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is thereto the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
5:12 The sleep of laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
ONE WHO WORKS HARD FOR HIS MONEY SLEEPS WELL AT NIGHT. BUT THE ONE WHO HAS GOTTEN RICH BY EVIL GAINS DOES NOT.
5:13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun (FLESH), namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
IN OTHER WORDS, A RICH MAN (WHO DOES NOT HAVE GOD IN THEIR HEART) WHO CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH RICHES, HE WILL WORRY ALL THE TIME OF HOW TO MAKE MORE, OR NOT TO LOSE WHAT HE HAS.
5:14 But those riches perish by evil travail (HE MADE A WRONG MOVEMENT): and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand (HE GOT RIPPED OFF).
5:15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU IS THE WORK YOU'VE DONE FOR GOD (REV. 14:13).
5:16 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 labored for the wind (CHASING THE WIND)?
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LOVING GOD. ONLY THROUGH HIM YOU CAN GET WISDOM AND BLESSINGS.
5:17 All his days also he eateth in darkness (SATAN IS THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS), and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
IF YOU FOLLOW THE DARK SIDE YOU WILL HAVE SORROWS AND SICKNESS OF MIND.
5:18 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 labor that he taketh under the sun all the days in his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
ENJOY THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE.
5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof (TO ENJOY IT), and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.
5:20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
FOLLOWING HIM BRINGS JOY.
GOD BLESS
