Passage of the Day - May 5, 2011

Ecclesiastes 5:12

12The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.

One who works for a living is typically tired at bed time.  The worker is too tired to allow the status of his stomach to deter him from sleep.  A rich man who doesn’t isn’t tired enough to overcome the inordinate amount of food and pressure in his belly. Fully indulging yourself will only cause discomfort at the end of the day.
