“Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes 9:9-10

These verses remind us that life is a precious gift from God. Solomon urges us to value the people He has placed in our lives and to faithfully carry out the work He’s given us. Since our time on earth is short, we shouldn’t take His blessings for granted. Verse 10 inspires us to serve with all our heart—whether caring for family, encouraging others, working, or serving the Lord, we’re called to give our best. Each day is a chance to honor God with the time, energy, and resources He’s entrusted to us.
Dear Heavenly Father God, thank You and praise You for the gift of life and for the people You have placed in my life. Help me cherish each day and serve You with all my heart Holy Spirit. Give me strength to do the work You have set before me and wisdom to use my time for Your glory. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
