A Fool's Words and Labor

We want to talk about the words and labors of fools this evening, but we want to do it in such a way that we also see what the believer's responsibility is in contrast to him. It says here that the fool multiplies words and his labor wearies him, so if the converse is true, the righteous man's words should be few and to the point, and his labor should actually invigorate him when the Spirit of God is blessing the man's work. So this evening we will look 1st at the sinful weakness of multiplying words and how the believer can keep himself from that. 2nd – We want to look at the fool's knowledge of the future, versus the believer's view of it. And then 3rd - We will look at how the fool's labors make him weaker, but how the believer's labors actually strengthen him.
