Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 29 October 2022 Message
Solomon continued in his words of wisdom to address human relationship with God and fellow humans. First, he addressed his readers on how to relate with God while in His presence. It is expected of every one to fear and reverence God in their acts of worship. One should guard his/her steps when approaching God, draw near to listen to Him, avoid the sacrifices of fools, avoid uttering rash and hasty words, and pay whatever he/she vows to Him (vv. 1-7). Second, verses 8-20 summaries the vanity of much possessions.
From life’s experiences, Solomon viewed amassing of wealth as dangerous to livelihood (vv. 10&13). The summary of Solomon’s teaching in this passage is for people to be contented and this can only be achieved through living a moderate life.
Christians that must live good need the key of moderation; we should live moderately in every aspect of our lives. In the presence of God and before fellow humans, we should be careful of our manner of approach. We should learn how to be concise with our words. We must bear in mind that whatever possession we have is by the grace of God, thus, it is the ‘gift of God’ (v.19).
PRAYER: O God, give me the grace to be contented and live moderately for your glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
