Ecclesiastes 10:16-17

We move down the home stretch in our journey through this amazing little book of wisdom. In this chapter we'll look at a collection of proverbs and how they impact our lives as college students.

Written by an elderly King Solomon, Ecclesiastes reflects on a life of meaningless pursuits. Solomon writes that the world's pursuits, from wealth to self-indulgence, are vain and unfulfilling. Ecclesiastes determines that God and his presence make life fulfilling, and true wisdom is to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

In this 30-day devotional, you will learn the vital role of faith in a Christian's journey. When you are faced with doubts and uncertainties in life, make living by faith a priority, looking to God in your challenging moments. Living by faith is not taking a risk; it is a rest in God, trusting that with Him, nothing is impossible.

This is the fifteenth installment of our Bible reading plan, following a lectionary-style pattern with daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to guide your time in God’s Word. This month’s theme is purpose. In Ecclesiastes, we question what truly matters. Song of Songs reveals the purpose of love and relationships. Paul’s letters call us to live with clarity, identity, and mission in Christ. Together, these books invite us to discover God’s purpose—and how it shapes every part of our lives.
