Reverence In direction of God – Ecclesiastes 5:1-7
He started by warning the individuals to understand that the Temple is a spot for humble communion and true worship. Ritual sacrifices and prayers provided with out real devotion or correct reverence had been displeasing to God. Due to this fact, they need to weigh their phrases rigorously, remembering that they’re chatting with the God of heaven and earth. Simply as overthinking the day’s considerations can result in a stressed night time’s sleep, speaking to God greater than listening to Him is silly (Isaiah 29:13-14; Matthew 6:7-13).
Additionally, in the event that they made guarantees to Him, they had been to satisfy them shortly and with out excuse (Deuteronomy 23:21-23). It will be higher by no means to inform God they’d do something than to inform Him they’d after which fail to comply with via (Matthew 21:28-31). Mendacity to God is silly, and due to careless or insincere phrases, God may destroy the work of their palms (Acts 5:1-10). A thoughts stuffed with considerations and a mouth stuffed with too many phrases are empty and futile. God should be saved in His correct place. As an alternative of approaching Him casually or attempting to govern Him with our prayers, we should always honor Him with reverence (Hebrews 12:28-29).
