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." When your foundation is right, you will be ready for what God has for you in every message. Don't let a distraction make you miss what God has planned just for you.  - Phil Dann

Ecclesiastes 3:11a - "He hath made everything beautiful in His time." So often we want God to answer prayers right away in our life and fail to realize how good the waiting process is for us.  If we don't learn to build a lasting, trusting relationship with Christ, we may miss what He is teaching us. I want to get to the place where Christ does the work in His time. A truly beautiful life. - Jason Brothers

Ecclesiastes 5:7 - "For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God." There is so much emphasis put on the American Dream and being successful. Dreams and plans we have for tomorrow, next week, next year, 5 years from now. There is nothing wrong with dreaming and planning, but The Preacher cuts straight to the chase in this verse, and says there is 1 sure path to true success,"Fear thou GOD" How are we doing on this scale of true success? - Brian Boots

Ecclesiastes 10:12,14a - "The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself...A fool also is full of words." I think of our preacher with this description of gracious words and how he often prays & waits before speaking.  How does our speech portray us to others? - Jason Barrett

Ecclesiastes 3:14 - "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." We can rest in the assurance that no matter what happens, God is in control. As His children, we have no reason to worry about anything. We just need to let God do His work in our lives. - Steve Boots

Ecclesiastes 1:18 - "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."  As we learn and study more of His Word, we will learn more about ourselves and what a sinful people we are. But it never says that we should not become wise, but to increase in knowledge and wisdom.  Never forget where He saved you from, for when we do, we do lose the fire and the reason why we should tell others. - Joshua Gross
