A Dream and a Fool’s Voice are the Same

Ecclesiastes 5:3

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

This Generation Has Placed a Premium on “Dreams”

All Wealth and Potential are Surrounded by The Promotion of Dreams

Without Realizing They Are Just the Results of A lot of Activity…

The Bible Places Dreams Along Side of the Fool’s Multitude of Words…

Not Surprising Since the Plot of Satan is to Distract Us from Being Productive in Christ and Leave Us Mindlessly Chasing Rainbows…

Faith in God’s Promises are More Valuable than Our Dreams…

When We Have Faith in His Promises Then Dreams Are No Longer Needed…

Don’t Be a Dreamer-

Be a Believer…

In the End You Will Obtain Things Beyond Anything You Can Dream!

Everything Comes at a Cost

Ecclesiastes 4:6

[6] Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

Better Comes at a Loss…

Whereas Travail and Vexation are the Results of “Having Full Hands”

The Simple Have Little, Just a Handful not a Barn-Full…

But They Have Less to Worry About!

A man with just one bicycle

Has far less to Maintain-

Than the man with a car….

Multiply the Possessions

Multiply the Maintenance…

To whom much is given, much is required…

Be Careful for What You Ask For-

Rulers and Servants

Proverbs 22:7

[7] The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

A Fact of Life-

“He Who Has the Gold, Rules”

Otherwise Known As the -

(Golden Rule)

But One Great Option or Variable is You Do Not Have to Be a Servant…

If the (Borrower) is a Servant

Then that must mean that the (Lender) is the Master!

Often People Who Borrow

Refuse to Wait Until They Can Afford It…

This Weakness Makes Them Servant to the Lender-(Master)

Think-

⁃ (Master) Card

⁃ (Visa)-Card: special permission to pass requirements…

⁃ American (Express) short cut from normal wait …

Don’t Be a Servant-

and Master Your Own Desires or Someone Else Will Be Your Master…

Learning from God’s Discipline

Psalms 94:12

[12] Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

No Request, No Complaint, But a Revelation…

God Corrects Those That Have Hope Still…

He is precious in God's sight or the Lord would not take the trouble to correct him…

Please Do Not “Chaff” Under the Hand of God’s Chastisement…

Those He Hates are Destroyed-

Those He Loves He Chastises…

Don’t Despise God’s Hope!

Reconciliation

Proverbs 14:9

[9] Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

Another translation-

*Fools make fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation.

*Long-term anger, held inside, can be detrimental to all your relationships.

Why? Because internal anger will eventually become external…

The World is “Obsessed” with Eliminating “Guilt” out of theirs and your lives!

They view Guilt as Harmful…

Please Note:

⁃ Worldly Guilt Destroys

⁃ But-

⁃ Godly Guilt Allows us to Make Things Right Such as in (Reconciliation)

Do Not Let the Devil Lie to You

Causing You to Mock “Guilt”

And Ignoring It…

This Action Destroys You

Not Liberate You…

Reconcile Today and Let Guilt Cause You to Make Repairs…

Caution- know the difference between a Godly Guilt

And from that of a worldly devilish guilt that will shackle and chain you unnecessarily…

Nowhere to Hide

Proverbs 21:9

[9] It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Escaping a Brawl or Trouble seems Second Only to Finding a Place Where God is not Present…(He is Everywhere)

Trouble Happens to Everyone, In Church or Not in Church…

Escape Seems Impossible-

Biblical Wisdom Says That a Woman Intent On a Brawl in a Wide House is Not Sufficient to Escape…

But Rather at Best, the Uncomfortable Corner in a Roof Top or Attic is “Preferable” than Trying to escape a brawl in a Wide House…

The analogy was meant as an (Observation of Choice) when a Woman is Intent on a  Brawl…

It was not Validating the Woman, but Advising that there was no other recourse for the man.

*Wisdom- Do Not Be the Negative Object of One of God’s Lessons of Life…

I’d rather be the man counseled and uncomfortable in the attic…

Curiosity Killed the Cat

Proverbs 21:16

16 The man that (wandereth) out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

⁃ Curiosity is Wondering “If”

⁃ Curiosity is Wondering “Why”

⁃ Curiosity is Wondering “Where”   

Once You “Understand” Truth and Salvation It Is Important not to Wander Away…

Because “Curiosity Killed the Cat”

Once You Have Found Peace and Contentment It Is Important to not Wander Away…

Because “Curiosity Killed the Cat”

When You Wander Away form What You Know or “Understanding”

You End Up in a New Congregation of the Dead…

Better to Remain Content in the Congregation of Life and Live!

Than to Let “Curiosity” Kill You…
