September 28
Introduction
Today’s reading is the conclusion to the book. While Ecclesiastes reflects the author’s struggle to find the meaning of life, the closing section is a reminder that respecting and obeying God is at life’s core.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Ecclesiastes 12:1-14
Today’s Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 12:13
After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for.
Reflect
Reread verses 8 and 13. Do you think they contradict each other? Why or why not? How does the Philosopher describe old age? Do you agree with what the Philosopher says in verse 13? Why or why not? How would you summarize your own view of life?
Pray
Lord God, may I have reverence for you each day. Teach me to obey your commands so that my life is one of loving service. It is you, Lord God, and you alone, who give meaning to my life. Amen.
Prayer Concern
The elderly
Tomorrow’s Reading
Job 27:1-23: Job discusses with one of his friends why he is suffering.
