Ecclesiastes 7:8-9

Many of us are chosen, gifted, and called — yet still hiding. In this powerful 3-day devotional drawn from the book You Owe Us Your Greatest Life – Bring Your Piece, Lwazi Dekeda challenges readers to honour the gift of life, confront fear, and step into their God-given calling. Through the story of Saul, the authority of Scripture, and personal reflection, you will discover that your destiny is greater than your background — and that Jesus, the Author of life, is ready to write your story with purpose. It’s time to come out of hiding and live your greatest life.

In this chapter we discover the summation of the Teacher's search of wisdom. There is a hidden gem within these verses that help us learn our place in our relationship with God. We can also learn how to rightly look at the truth of who we are as men and women that might help us relate to our friends and neighbors who don't yet know God.

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.
