March 8, 2026, Ecclesiastes 5:1-7
5 Guard your steps when you go to the house of
God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of
fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. 2 Be
not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before
God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words
be few. 3 For a dream comes with much business, and
a fool's voice with many words.
4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying
it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow. 5 It
is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. 6 Let
not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the
messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your
voice and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For
when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is
the one you must fear.
These verses call to a true and reverent approach to
worship. It calls for humility, thoughtfulness in speech and obedience to
God’s Word. It warns against insincere rituals and practices during
worship.
How do you approach worship on a regular basis?
What helps you to follow the Holy Spirit's prompting in
worship and daily life?
What can you do to improve your obedience when the Holy
Spirit speaks?
