yourself! Dig into this week's study: Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 Print out your WordStudy Sheet. >>> See a sample lesson. >>> WordStudy Archive. >>> #1—Read it!
Carefully read the following passage:Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (NKJV)
v. 18 Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. v. 19 As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. v. 20 For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart. #2—Investigate it!
#3—Write it!
On your WordStudy
Sheet, tell in your own words what you think each verse means. Use the information you gathered above to guide you as you think through each verse. Descibe any new understanding of the story you get from learning the background information.
#4—Apply it!
Now that you have an idea what the verses are saying, how could they apply to you? On your WordStudy Sheet write what you think each verse could mean in your life. Is there something you should do? Or something you need to change? Get "up-close-and-personal" as you think about it! #5—Pray!
Ask God to help you do the things you learned about in today's study. Be specific! When we pray specifically, God answers specifically!
#6—Share it!
Share your study with your parents or your teacher
and get their feedback on your conclusions.Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. |
