Today’s Bible Verse — Ecclesiastes 3:1
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:”
“To everything there is a season,and a time for every purpose under heaven:”
BSB
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
KJV
Today’s Thought
There is a time for every purpose under heaven — which quietly means no season is meant to last forever. The summer that ended and the busy stretch beginning are not interruptions of God’s timing; they are God’s timing.
A Prayer for Today
Lord of every season, help me release the one that is ending and receive the one that is starting. Teach me to live this time, not resent it. Amen.
Why a Daily Bible Verse Changes Your Week
A single verse, read with intention, does more than a chapter rushed through out of guilt. The daily Bible verse gives you one clear truth to carry into your day — something to return to in a hard meeting, a quiet commute, or a sleepless night. Over weeks and months, those small moments compound into a steady, living familiarity with Scripture. Each day’s verse on this page comes with a short reflection and a written prayer, so you don’t just read the words — you sit with them.
