Four more observations 

1. Oppression is a certainty. (4:1-3)
2. Both work and laziness can ruin us. (4:4-6)
3. Relationships are beneficial. (4:7-12)
4. Positions of authority are temporary. (4:13-16)

 Three more areas vanity can show up.

1. Routine worship (5:1-7)
2. Disconnected position (5:8-9)

 Application:

1. Let's chase things that actually benefit our relationships.
2. Let's fulfill our kingdom responsibilities responsibly.
3. Let's manage relationships more than possessions or position.
4. Let's engage our brains in worship.
5. Let's use our gains intentionally.
