Horizon Church October Bible Reading Plan: Trusting God in Every Time - Ecclesiastes + DanielSample

The book of Ecclesiastes offers a raw and profound exploration of life’s challenges, uncertainties, and the search for true meaning. Written by King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, this book reflects on the full range of human experiences—from work and wealth to joy, sorrow, pleasure, and pain. Solomon candidly examines these aspects of life and reaches the sobering conclusion that, without God, everything is ultimately "meaningless," like chasing after the wind.

However, Ecclesiastes is not a book without hope. Through Solomon’s reflections, we discover that the temporary things we pursue “under the sun” can never satisfy our deepest needs. Instead, real purpose, fulfilment, and joy are found only in living for God. Ecclesiastes encourages us to embrace the mystery and unpredictability of life while trusting in the eternal wisdom and sovereignty of God. Life’s ups and downs may leave us searching for answers, but the book’s ultimate message is clear: God is the true source of meaning in every season of life.

We encourage you to invite a friend or your Life Group and journey through this plan together! It’s always encouraging to explore Scripture together and share what God is teaching you. Plus, having others by your side can bring fresh perspectives and deeper insights!
