March 6, 2026, Ecclesiastes 3:16-22
16 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of
justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness,
even there was wickedness. 17 I said in my
heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a
time for every matter and for every work. 18 I said
in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that
they may see that they themselves are but beasts. 19 For
what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same;
as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no
advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. 20 All
go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who
knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast
goes down into the earth? 22 So I saw that there is nothing
better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot.
Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
These verses address our lack of understanding regarding
injustice and immortality. Ultimately, we are called to trust God’s
judgement and be faithful in serving Him regardless of the lack of fairness in
our world.
When have you felt injustice or unfairness in life? How did
you or are you trusting God in the midst of our unfair world/society?
Dear Father, whatever I may face today—please help me
entrust my life to You, as Jesus did. (From Daily Bread)
