Apr 25 (Ecc 4-6)


Ecclesiastes 4

(v.9) God has it all figured out, and that's why He wants a man and a woman to unite, and raise a family. If we're alone, we will fall to temptation and tire easily. But if we are supported and loved by a spouse, we are strong and focused.

(v.12) The number 3 is very important throughout the Bible, and a marriage with God at the helm is not quickly or easily broken.

Man + Woman + God = A Strong Marriage


Ecclesiastes 5

(v.4) We are not to barter with God, but if we make a vow to Him, He expects us to keep it. We should pray and think hard about what we promise God, for almost every person is certain to disobey that vow sometime in their lives. Only God can keep His promises, so let's just hold onto His, and disregard the thought that we can impress God!

(v.12) A man who works hard has good sleep. If he works honestly and with integrity, he will not stress or fear anything. However, a man who is rich will often think more of himself than he should, and will become obsessed with money. We must put God first in our lives, no matter what our income level.


Ecclesiastes 6

(v.10) This is a great verse to share with atheists...why are they contending with the One who made them? Unfortunately, if one's heart is hard, they can't see the grace and mercy of God...but only their own works.
