Rev. John Shank of Trinity Lutheran Church & School in Edwardsville, IL joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Ecclesiastes 10.

Trust in the LORD. Be prepared, be careful and plan ahead. Humanity has been in a constant state of rebellion since Adam and Eve which leads us down paths that are not pleasing to Him or loving to others. Solomon slowly unpacks our reality of rebellion which gets revealed in our words, at our work, our families, our communities, but we are called to trust in Him. To live in faith, does not lead us to fatalism, but He reminds us of His path of salvation & grace to help in all things. “Lord God, keep us from temptation and give us eyes of faith to trust in You. Give us wisdom to be prepared, careful, and to plan ahead for the sake of love for others while we live in faith of Your promises. Amen”
