Tuesday, 8/12/2025 – What Are You Chasing?
Scripture: “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” – Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV)
Thought: We all have “wind-chasing” habits—pursuits that seem urgent now but won’t last in the end.
Reflection: Is your calendar full of things that matter, or things that will fade quickly? The Teacher reminds us that even big accomplishments can vanish from memory. What will still matter 10 years from now? 100 years?
Action Step: Write down one thing you’re chasing right now that may be “just wind.” Pray over it and ask God to show you how to hold it more loosely.
Prayer: Lord, help me to let go of pursuits that don’t last and to cling to what matters most to You. Amen.
