Today’s Scripture

A GOOD name is better than precious perfume, and the day of death better than the day of one's birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better and gains gladness. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth and sensual joy. It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.    

Ecclesiastes 7: 1-5

Today’s Thought

You learn more sometimes in life through times of adversity than times of ease. The wisdom that is discovered in difficult times is more memorable because it’s more valuable in those moments.

Today’s Confession

Lord, I thank you for every season that I face. Help me overcome seasons of adversity by increasing my wisdom and getting me out of tough spots. Though it may be hard, I know that the lessons I learn will be valuable.
