HOW THEN WILL YOU LIVE?
Life is short! Q has spent 12 chapters describing how fleeting life and the things of the world are, and yet he encourages us to live that life fully, to the end. He compels us to enjoy life and serve God while we can – don’t put it off until another day, don’t waste precious time. In other words, our certain death should invigorate our current life. What guidance do the scriptures provide to motivate us to live a God-centered life now?
Ask Yourself: How often do you consider the fleeting nature of life when making decisions about how you will spend your time and where you will invest your energy? Are there any areas that you might need to consider more carefully?
Pause to Pray: Father God, I thank you for your everlasting love. Please teach me how to abide fully in your purpose and your plans for me, even now. Reveal any ways in which I have fallen in love with the world and wandered away from you. Please lead me in the way I should live. All glory and honor and praise to you! Amen.
Take the Next Step: Are you procrastinating on anything God has asked you to do? Take some time to confess this to God, and then ask Him to help you make a plan to get started.
About this Plan
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.
