What does Ecclesiastes 7:20 mean? โ†’

Passage Context

18It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
19Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
21Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
22For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Devotional Reflection

LovePeaceGratitudeHope

Yes, all of us are broken, flawed, and dirty. At least, that's what we thought (cf. 1 Cor. 6:9-11). Thanks to God's grace and the work of Jesus, we can stand before God as holy, blameless, and innocent (Col. 1:22).

Prayer

Thank you, forgiving Father and Holy God, that Jesus' death paid for my sins and freed me from being a sinner. Thank you for giving me the power of your Holy Spirit to become more like Him. Thank you for giving me grace and making me something I could never be on my own. Thank you, dear God, for saving me from my sin, freeing me from my guilt, and making me worthy to share in your glory. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
