Today’s Reading:
Ecclesiastes 7:1–14 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.”
(Ecclesiastes 7:4)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Wisdom

A Thought for Today

Remembering that life is temporary can teach us how to live it well.

What This Means for Us Today

Ecclesiastes does not avoid the difficult reality of death.

Instead, it reminds us that reflecting on the brevity of life can give us wisdom.

Our days matter. The people we love matter. How we choose to live before God matters.

Carry This With You

Let the shortness of life remind you of what matters most.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, teach me to value the days You give me.
Help me spend them on what truly matters.

Today’s Invitation

Tell someone you love that you appreciate them today.
Do not leave important words for another day.
