—Ecclesiastes 5:1-6
by: Lisa Moore.
This passage reminded me of Psalm 100:4: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.” Is this the way we come to the house of God? Are we as diligent to be on time for church as we are for work or school? Do we come with an attitude of being thankful or do we allow ourselves to be frustrated, upset, or tired? Are we slow to speak and quick to listen? Are our words seasoned with salt or hot peppers? We make God angry when we do these things—what a sobering thought. His mercy gives us the opportunity to get it right. Hallelujah!
