Ecclesiastes 5:4 - Making Promises Without Being A Fool.

Ecclesiastes 5:4 (NLT) When you make a 
promise to God, dont delay in following through, 
for God takes no pleasure in fools. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Why Wont God Tell Me the Next Step?
   When you are seeking Gods will for 
your life, you need to understand one very 
important thing.: God is not obligated to reveal Step 
2 until youve done Step 1. 
   Maybe you keep saying, I want to know 
Gods will for my career/marriage, and God 
says, Lets get to the basics. Are you 
reading your Bible? Are you in a small group? Are 
you tithing? Are you talking with me? 
   He wants you to start doing what you 
already know to be the revealed will of God for your 
life before he tells you what else to do. 
   So, are there any things God has told you 
to do but you havent done them yet? Why is 
that the case? The truth is, youre not waiting 
on God; hes waiting on you. 
   Please dont wait another week or 
another year to do what God has already told you to 
do. 
   What are you waiting for?
   Ecclesiastes 5:4 says, When you make a 
promise to God, dont delay in following through, 
for God takes no pleasure in fools (NLT). 
Dont delay. Do what you already know to do. 
   Pray this prayer today: Lord, I need 
your guidance in my life. I ask in faith that you 
direct me. Help me to listen for your response, to 
not get so busy that I cant hear you. Father, 
when I dont understand it, help me to trust 
you and understand that you have a path that is 
for my good. God, whats my next step? Help me 
to do what I already know I should do. Help me 
to not get frustrated. Help me to not be 
fearful but to trust in you. In Jesus name I 
pray. Amen. [Daily Devotional by Rick Warren:
