Find Your Way Home

Fools are so exhausted by a little work
that they can't even find their way home. Ecclesiastes 10:15 NLT

A little work this morning just outside. Another branch fell last night, but this one is more my size, as in no heavy equipment required. However, it did miss a window pane by a few inches, so praise to God for that. I also hope and pray in light of today's verse that I am not exhausted and unable to find my way home. Especially fervent prayer for that as the branch is leaning against my house! 

Why wouldn't this fool be able to find his way home though after a little work? It may be that Solomon has observed the work of fools and found them apt to go to the bar after a little work and so be too drunk to find their way home. This happens much even today. Many a marriage has been lost due to fools not being able to find their way home after work. Yes, this little proverb from the Ecclesiastes has some barbs poking out. And as often happens in the Bible, I hear those haunting words... "and such were some of you."  Our eternal home is in Heaven with Jesus, and we need Him to bring us there. Until that time though, we have earthly homes to live in for this brief season until our Lord returns. After a little work, we need to find our way home. All relationships in this time require some effort on our part, and one way to maintain those closely is to find our way home in a timely manner. Don't play the fool; find your way home!

No one else at home? Enter into that prayer closet! There's a relationship that always does us good to work on.
