ECCLESIASTES 5

PROMISES TO GOD MATTER, RICHES ARE MEANINGLESS

When you go before God, speak to Him with intention. Don’t make a promise to God that you can’t keep; it is better to not make the promise at all. Be cautious of your words, not allowing them to cause you to sin. 

Whoever loves money is never satisfied with wealth. For the greedy person, there is never enough. Riches are a meaningless pursuit; you can’t take them with you once you die. The hard and honest worker is better off than the wealthy who overindulge. The humble know how to pace themselves, but those who are prideful chase after the wind. If God has given you wealth, use it for good and delight in His gifts, but don’t waste your life going after something that is not yours.
