Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:22, 2 Corinthians 6:1-13, Psalm 46:1-11, Proverbs 22:15


Pray: God, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble! May we remember this awesome truth today that You are always ready to come to our aid, if only we would call out to You for help. Amen.


Read: When Solomon begins Ecclesiastes he is convinced that life is meaningless. Have you ever felt that way? Keep reading! Vanity of Vanities! Solomon’s big mistake is that he was looking everywhere for meaning except at God. God has broken into this meaningless existence and given it meaning through the person of Jesus Christ!


Edify: It is easy to forget the sacrifices others have made so that we can know the Lord. Paul never spoke about his sufferings unless his words helped to protect the ministry. Do you take your church for granted? Do you thank those around you at church and those who came before you to make your church what it is? Gratitude to a fellow brother or sister in Christ goes a long way to continue to build it up!


Practice: A reminder today from Proverbs is how important it is to discipline your children. Folly is bound up in the heart of a child but the rod of discipline drives it out!
