Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Ecclesiastes 7:8

 Finisher will blow the dust of discouragement, partial obedience, & bad timing off the God given dreams & assignments on your life. No more living with regrets and excuses, its time to FINISH exactly how you started! 

Americans have always turned to the Bible for wisdom to live together. We argue over how to read and use it, but the Bible has helped shape our values and institutions. In this plan, you will read the Bible as a freedom text alongside five voices from our past, focused on the value of Hope. Discover fresh takes on the Bible, and inspiration for facing today’s challenges.

Sometimes, working to finish well and get real closure on a chapter of life is incredibly difficult, but when we ignore the need to do so, we live with a pile of unfinished beginnings. But finished things become usable things because it is in conclusions that we see God's grace and faithfulness most clearly. For those who need fresh eyes to see, this is for you.

Though the book of Ecclesiastes was written long ago, the author’s message couldn’t be more relevant. His ancient voice of despair is echoed by countless intellectual and cultural elites in our era. Yet into this darkness, the beauty of truth shines. In this five-day study, you will learn that while life “under the sun” is meaningless, life under God is truly and deeply meaningful.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Life rarely goes the way we plan for it to go. Financial stability fluctuates, sickness sets in, death takes its toll. Changing circumstances may cause us to doubt God’s good purpose for everything he ordains. Yet, even in the midst of trials and suffering, God beckons us to himself. Over the next seven days, hear from pastor Dave Furman, author of Kiss the Wave, as he encourages us to run to—and not away from—the God of our circumstances.

We all have our little morning habits. We could also call them routines, the first things we do in the morning. Throughout these seven days, I’d like to propose a series about these first moments, these first actions, these first thoughts of our days. We will discover how we can create habits to develop our spiritual growth.

God knows that we want to grow in wisdom; this 7-day Plan will give you insight into what Godly wisdom actually means and how to gain it. Each day has a prayer and inspirational thought of the day with audio to help in your journey.

Patience – the one thing we don’t like to pray for because we know God will send situations our way to test and grow us in this area! Waiting is hard but the fruit of doing it well is worth it. Study this devotional to learn about why we need patience and how we can do it well.

Have you ever felt overlooked? Or that your calling is being delayed or even denied? The process of God’s promotion begins with a calling and is always followed by a hidden season of testing until we’re ready for the full purpose that He has for us. There’s no shortcut to your potential, you must go through The Process of Promotion.

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.

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).

The book of Ecclesiastes is not an easy part of the Bible – largely because it plumbs depths to our souls and experience that are not easy either. Strap in for an unflinching, possibly uncomfortable, but ultimately hopeful encounter with a very ancient and also very contemporary anguish about what it’s like to be human in God’s marvellous, broken world.

Ecclesiastes is tough to read! The author, Solomon, is deeply reflective and concludes that everything is meaningless. Interestingly, these words are still relatable three thousand years later. Is everything meaningless? Why is this book in the Bible? Study the book of Ecclesiastes with the Story Bible guide, exploring what it meant when it was first written and what it means to us today.
