Ecclesiastes 9:18

Every war waged was first lost in the human heart. The fiercest battles you will face are within yourself. The victory you need isn’t based on luck or talent but on the transformative inner journey of the warrior. In this 5-day devotional, MOSAIC lead pastor Erwin McManus insists the only path toward world peace is inner peace. Drawing from his new book, McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion, and describes the sacred movements needed to become the warrior you were created to be.

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).
