Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Life is uncertain, but it’s not a complete mystery. God has allowed us to know who he is, what he thinks of us, and what he will do for us. Begin to discover this in just five minutes a day—and as you do, we pray your faith, hope, and love for him will grow.

Choosing Wisdom: For Men is a 5-day devotional inviting men to pursue courage, humility, and godly wisdom in everyday life.
