Ecclesiastes 7

Verses 21 and 22 offer a gentle remind of how we should respond to the less than complimentary comments of others; remembering how we have spoken about others in the past. Does it matter if we've repented of such speech; we are still guilty. Do we see others glaring at us? Recall the times we have glared. This is not to say we are still making the same wrong choices that others are now making, but rather it is a recognition of where we once stood, and to be willing to extend the necessary grace, even if we never received such grace. We are to reflect what God is shaping us to be and not the things that, in Christ, we have left behind.
It took me about 5 minutes to reasd this chapter.
