Fools, wise and God seeking!

Reading: Ecclesiastes 5-6, 2 John, and 3 John

Scripture: Ecclesiastes7:15-18, In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them.

Thoughts: In the age of Tiktok and viral videos, we are bombarded with anything and everything under the sun being beamed directly to a device in our pockets where we have access to knowledge and fools. What are we spending our time on? Luke 6:45 the last portion says “out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” When we focus too much on the knowledge we have at our fingers it is easy to only focus on worldly “Knowledge” or if we focus on the foolish things people are posting out there, we can become fools or loose perspective. When we pump ourselves full of all these other things from, cooking videos to stupid human tricks what is going to come out of our mouths? I encourage everyone to look at their inputs and see what gets more input into our lives, God or the World?

Prayer: Father God you are the creator of all things and the one who gave us our passions and interests. I ask that you help us to keep your perspective, help us to keep you in our heart that is may overflow on the world, and that with you as our focus the knowledge will become wisdom and we keep from becoming fools.
