5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 6You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
What does this scripture make you think of??
*Note* This is my opinion and interpretation... I could be totally off...
"Give Careful thought to your ways."
The Lord is telling us to basically think before we act.
"You have planted much, but have harvested little."
Why on earth would you plant a lot of crops and only harvest some of them? The crops you don't harvest will wither and will go to waste. Plus you wasted time planting seeds and preparing a field that just went to waste. In other words... don't be so wasteful
"You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill"
This makes me think of how greedy we are. We are hardly ever satisfy with what we have.
"You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Are you doing what you're doing out of your heart? This one makes me think of tithing to the Lord. If we don't give back to the Lord what is his, then it is like us putting money in a purse with holes in it.
