Are you living your life to build an impressive sandcastle, only to fear the day the tide will wash it all away? In this thought-provoking episode of Wisdom for the Heart, Stephen Davey guides us through Solomon's brutally honest observations in Ecclesiastes. Solomon, the wealthiest and wisest king of his time, reflects on what truly brings meaning to life--and his findings are surprisingly relevant for us today. Solomon set out to explore what would give him lasting happiness. He indulged in lavish parties, built magnificent structures, and sought out laughter and entertainment. He even compared the merits of a wise, orderly life versus a wild and foolish one. But even after experiencing it all, Solomon faced a stark reality: regardless of how wisely or foolishly we live, the same tide--death--comes for us all. Yet this episode doesn't leave us in despair. Stephen Davey unpacks how Solomon's realizations point us to something greater--to a hope that is not confined to the transient realities of "life under the sun." While Solomon found that earthly accomplishments and indulgences could not escape the inevitability of the tide, he also hinted at a different way to live--one that looks beyond the sun, toward the Creator who offers life beyond death. Join Stephen in this episode to understand why life can often feel disheartening, and how faith offers a perspective that changes everything. Discover the truth that while the tide of life may be unstoppable, it is not the end. Instead, it can be the beginning of a new, eternal story with Christ. Let this message help you navigate the ups and downs of life with a renewed sense of hope and purpose--knowing that your true treasure lies beyond the sand and the tide.
