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.
