What will be said about you when you're gone?

Welcome to The Daily. We go through the bible verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, every single day.

Our text today is the second part of Ecclesiastes 6:12.

For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun? — Ecclesiastes 6:12

It’s a sobering thought. One day, your time on earth will end. Your name will appear in an obituary, memories will be shared, and then—life will go on without you. Your house will be lived in by someone else. Your job will be filled by another. Even those who love you most will, in time, move forward.

Solomon wrestled with this reality when he asked, “For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 6:12). No one knows what will happen after they’re gone. We spend years working, building, and striving, but what comes of it all? Will it last? Will it even matter?

The truth is, everything “under the sun” fades. Kingdoms crumble, wealth is spent, and even great names are eventually forgotten. But what’s done beyond the sun—that’s eternal. Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). Earthly success is temporary. A life lived for Christ leaves an impact that time can’t erase.

So, how do you make your days count? You invest in what lasts. You raise your kids in the faith. You disciple younger believers. You share the gospel. You lead with integrity. You love sacrificially. These things ripple into eternity.

Your legacy isn’t in what you build but in who you point to. If your life leads others to Jesus, you’ve left something that will outlive you.

#EternalLegacy, #LiveForChrist, #FaithOverSuccess

ASK THIS:

1. What do you want to be remembered for when your life is over?
2. How are you investing in things that will last beyond your lifetime?
3. In what ways can you disciple and influence others for Christ today?
4. Are you storing up treasures in heaven, or are you focused on temporary success?

DO THIS:

Invest in what lasts—share your faith, disciple others, and leave an eternal impact.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, help me to live each day with eternity in mind, investing in what truly matters. May my life point others to You and leave an impact that lasts beyond my time on earth. Amen.

Where The Glory Is.

The sunset is impossible to grasp. One moment, it’s glowing—golden and brilliant. The next, it’s gone, slipping beyond the horizon. No matter how much you wish it would remain, darkness quickly takes over.

Welcome to The Daily. We go through the bible verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, every single day.

Our text today is Ecclesiastes 6:12.

For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow?— Ecclesiastes 6:12

That’s life.

Life isn’t just short—it’s fleeting, like a shadow moving across the ground. We chase after success, wealth, and comfort, hoping they’ll bring us meaning. But no matter how much we grab, they slip through our fingers.

Because shadows have no substance.

They look real, but they aren’t. They shift, stretch, and disappear with time. The things we think will satisfy—bigger paychecks, more recognition, the next big achievement—often leave us empty. They promise security but deliver uncertainty. They look solid but fade when the light changes.

But here’s the truth: where there’s a shadow, there’s light. And that’s what we’re meant to chase. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Instead of running after things that vanish, we’re called to run toward Him—the only One who never fades.

So, what are you chasing? Are you grasping at shadows or reaching for the Light?

#LifeIsShort, #ChasingLight, #FaithOverFleeting

ASK THIS:

1. What shadows have you been chasing in your life?
2. How have temporary pursuits left you feeling empty?
3. What does John 8:12 reveal about where true fulfillment is found?
4. How can you intentionally pursue the Light of Christ today?

DO THIS:

Spend five minutes today reflecting on what you’re chasing—then ask God to shift your focus to what truly lasts.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, help me stop grasping at what fades and start pursuing what lasts. Draw me closer to Your light so I may walk in truth. Amen.

Chasing Rebels.

Ever been trapped in a conversation where someone just won’t stop talking—but they’re saying absolutely nothing? It’s like watching a faucet drip endlessly, each word hitting the floor with no impact. You nod, you smile, but inside, you’re thinking, Please, just get to the point!

Welcome to The Daily. We go through the bible verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, every single day.

Our text today is Ecclesiastes 6:11.

The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? — Ecclesiastes 6:11

We are drowning in words. Social media feeds never stop scrolling. News cycles churn 24/7. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone is desperate to be heard. But in all this noise, how much actually matters? How much of it is just filler—empty words with no weight?

Solomon saw this coming long before the digital age. “The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?” (Ecclesiastes 6:11). He warns that words without wisdom are just wasted breath. Jesus took it even further—He said we’ll be held accountable for every idle word we speak (Matthew 12:36). That should stop us in our tracks. Are our words building up or just adding to the static? Are we speaking truth or just filling space?

Today, before you speak, pause. Ask yourself: Does this need to be said? Will this help, or will it just add to the clutter? Let your words be few—but let them be full of wisdom.

#SpeakWisely, #BibleWisdom, #Ecclesiastes611

ASK THIS:

1. How often do I speak without considering the impact of my words?
2. What practical steps can I take to ensure my words are wise and meaningful?
3. How does social media contribute to a culture of empty words in my life?
4. In what ways can I use my words to build up rather than add to the noise?

DO THIS:

Before you speak today, pause and ask: Does this add value or just add to the noise?

PRAY THIS:

Lord, help me to be mindful of my words, speaking with wisdom and purpose rather than filling the air with meaningless chatter. Teach me to pause, reflect, and use my voice to honor You and uplift others. Amen.
