Ecclesiastes 5:12 How ya' sleepin'?

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

ECCLESIASTES 5:12 "THE SLEEP OF A LABOURING MAN IS SWEET, WHETHER HE EAT LITTLE OR MUCH: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP."

The poor rich man gets no rest. When he is not absorbed in the multiplication of his wealth, his energies must be given to the protection of his gain.

This perpetual concern he takes into the night, and he seldom gets a good night's sleep. The desire for wealth is so consuming that it can only end in the destruction of his entire life.

The simple laborer, whole life is unencumbered by massive accumulation, is free from such upsetting care and enjoys the sweetness of sleep. Even if the poor man's meal may not be quite sufficient, physical weariness has made his body ready to sleep.

Now, the rich man, his abundance of means imposes a disadvantage upon him. I pray, my friend, that you keep number one what is number one, which is God. Work hard, cheat no one, and enjoy the fruits of your labour in Christ.

In Christ's Love and Grace
