Are you running the wrong race? Ecclesiastes 6 gives us two striking examples of people who looked like winners but were actually losing. One man had wealth, possessions, and honor. The other had a large family and a long life. Yet both lacked the one thing that matters most—a relationship with God.
In this episode, Stephen Davey takes you to Solomon’s sobering observations about life “under the sun.” Success, family, possessions, and status can all be good gifts. But without God, they quickly become heavy burdens that leave the soul unsatisfied. Solomon himself serves as a case study: famous, wealthy, and powerful, yet weighed down with emptiness.
The truth is, life is not about how far you get ahead or how fast you run. It’s about balancing what truly matters: knowing God, walking with Him, and enjoying His gifts with gratitude. Without Christ, even a thousand years of living and a house full of children lead to futility. With Christ, even ordinary days are filled with meaning.
Join Stephen in this Wisdom Journey lesson as he unpacks the rules of life’s race and points you to the only One who can give true satisfaction.
