Devotional: Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

Today’s passage: Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

Helpful thoughts:

  • God takes pleasure in our pleasure, in our righteous enjoyment of His creation.
  • The first word of this passage is “Go”.  We are to enjoy life, enjoy our spouses, relationships, and our work, on purpose.
  • It’s good with this passage to remember that in Ecclesiastes, we are taught that life is a gift, not gain.  It is to be enjoyed, not obtained.
  • Sheol is the grave.  Our dead bodies will no longer enjoy this life…but for the Christian, death has lost its sting and the grave has no victory!

Questions to consider:

  1. How would the first half of verse nine require righteous living to enjoy?  Remember, love is an action, not a feeling.
  2. Why should we pursue excellence in our work?  How will that provide more enjoyment for us and for others?
  3. What will our enjoyment of this life better prepare us for after this life?  What enjoyment lies ahead?
