Ecclesiastes 8:14

We all want to live wisely. Sometimes, we need discernment for big decisions. Other times, we feel in over our heads and need insight for what to do next. And then there are the ordinary but confusing days when we just need practical advice or help getting unstuck. Thankfully, the Bible is full of principles for discerning God’s voice and offers a clear starting place for living a life of wisdom: the fear of the Lord.

You see chaos. You see injustice. You see fleeting pleasures vanish in an instant. But what if the world isn’t the final word? Ecclesiastes dares to challenge everything we chase, pointing to a life where hope conquers despair, love outlasts wealth, and wisdom lights your path. Don’t settle for the empty promises around you. Embrace the truth that transforms your heart, restores your joy, and fills your life with purpose. The choice is yours: remain distracted, or live fully alive in God’s reality.

Wisdom inspires growth and builds up faith when we go through all kinds of circumstances in our everyday lives. In this devotional, we hope that you will be encouraged to grow in wisdom and understanding.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.
