Ecclesiastes 5
Do you Rob?
Eccl
(v1) Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
The first seven verses of chapter 5 speak about our relationship with God and how we rob God?
How do we rob from God?
The first response may be, in our tithe, or lack of it.
Perhaps another responnse may be, in our time, or lack of it, spent with God.
still another response may be, in our sincerity, or lack of it, in our relationship with God
QUESTION
What other ways do we "rob" from God?
Verses 8 & 9 - our relationship with others
Verses 10 - 18 - our relationship with our selves
QUESTION
What will it take for us to awaken to our meaninglessness in our pursuits ($, etc.)?
Does it require, like Scrooge, 3 Ghosts to awaken within us the meaningless of our pursuits, and rasing these pursuits higher than they should be, and awakening within us the call to return to relationships (God, other and self)?
