Wednesday with Jesus

Dear Bretheren in Christ,

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.” — Ecclesiastes 12:13
We often pour our strength into achievements—building, earning, gaining, and reaching. Yet, like Solomon, many come to a quiet realization: even the best of these can feel like “chasing the wind.” They satisfy for a moment, but they cannot anchor the soul. Why? Because we were not created merely for accomplishments, but for a relationship with God.
Jesus gently redirects our focus from the temporary to the eternal. A life centered on reverence for God and simple obedience to His Word carries a depth and stability that success cannot provide. When we live to please Him, even the smallest acts—done in sincerity—become meaningful and lasting.
A life built on worldly gain alone will fade, but a life grounded in God will endure forever.
Today, pause and reflect: What am I truly building my life upon?

Lord Jesus, help me to seek what is eternal rather than what is temporary. Teach me to fear You, walk in Your ways, and build my life on a foundation that will never fade. Amen.

Prayerful regards,
