Ecclesiastes 5:3 (ESV Strong's)
For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.
Talk is Cheap
Solomon is giving us a formula for making sure our talk does not outpace our walk. He is telling us in this proverb that dreams only come true when we do the “toil” or “tasks” (the meaning of the Hebrew word translated “business” in the above task) related to the dream. It is ONLY a dream if the work is not their to make the dream come true. Many people have “dreamed” of having many things, but only those who do the work will see their dream “come” true. This little section in Ecclesiastes starts with a word about “rash” words. It ends with this verse. Solomon’s point is to be careful that our words don’t start writing checks our lives and our work can’t cash. We need to make sure our walk matches our talk. It is better to have the walk without the talk than the talk without the walk.
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
