Do you ever wonder why people across every culture and time seem to believe in something after death? It's a question as old as humanity itself, and it's the very question Solomon addresses in Ecclesiastes. Today, we explore this deep-seated longing for eternity that God has placed in every human heart. Whether it's the pyramids of ancient Egypt or the poetry of Native American tribes, there's a common thread: a sense that life continues beyond our final breath. And Solomon's inspired words in Ecclesiastes offer an answer--one that goes beyond speculation and anchors us in divine truth. In this episode, Stephen Davey guides us through Ecclesiastes chapter 3, offering four key insights for living in time while longing for eternity. We start with the understanding that God is writing your life story, and nothing--not even the hard chapters--is outside of His perfect plan. It's a powerful reminder that every struggle, every triumph, and even the mundane moments are part of a greater narrative designed by God. We also talk about the sense of eternity God has placed in our hearts. This desire--to know, to search, to wonder--is evidence that we are meant for more. God wired us with a longing for something beyond, a hope for a life that doesn't end with the grave. Solomon helps us see that while we can't know all of God's plans, we can trust Him because He is the Author of time itself. Stephen will also show you why it's essential not to lose joy in the simple activities of life. Whether it’s the delight of a good meal or the satisfaction of a day's work well done, Solomon teaches that joy in these moments is a gift from God. Instead of waiting for some grand experience to fulfill us, God wants us to find joy today, in the small things. This truth transforms the ordinary into something sacred--a part of God's ongoing generosity toward us. Finally, this episode closes with a reflection on the sovereignty of God. How can we navigate life's ups and downs if we forget that God is ultimately in control? Stephen reminds us that the events of our lives--the good, the bad, and the unknown--are all in the hands of a sovereign God who knows the end from the beginning. This gives us hope, courage, and peace, even when we can't see the whole picture. Whether you're facing uncertainty, looking for meaning, or simply curious about what comes after this life, today's message will help you find comfort in the God who holds time and eternity in His hands. Listen now to gain insight into how to live your 'dash'--that time between birth and death--with purpose, hope, and joy.
