Don’t Waste What You Have Left Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 11:1-10 #1 DON’T WASTE YOUR WEALTH, BUT DIVERSIFY YOUR OPTIONS. #2 DON'T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT TIME TO TAKE A RISK, BECAUSE THE TIME MAY NEVER COME. #3 DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME BECAUSE IF YOU AREN’T DEAD, YOU AREN’T DONE. #4 DON’T WASTE YOUR LIFE BEING FULL OF VEXATION IN YOUR HEART.
The world’s wisdom is folly. Folly is prideful. Folly is impulsive. The world’s wisdom is folly. God’s wisdom is life. We always consider that sin is a constant threat and grace is a constant need. Pray in everything. We reflect on whether we’re being sinful first. We don’t get distracted from the Gospel. We accept that we’re going to make bad decisions. We ask others for advice.
