What’s the goal of your life? Many of us pursue success, comfort, or recognition—striving for the “summit” of achievement. But Solomon, the wealthiest and wisest king of Israel, reminds us that these goals can leave us empty and vulnerable, like climbers who collapse after reaching the top of the mountain but never make it safely home.
In this episode of Wisdom for the Heart, Stephen Davey takes us through Ecclesiastes 6:10–13, where Solomon reflects on the futility of chasing the wrong goals and urges us to remember three life-changing truths. First, everything in our past has unfolded under the authority of our Creator. Second, everything in our present is shaped by God’s sovereign care—even when we don’t understand it. And third, everything in our future rests in His infinite wisdom and perfect plan.
Through Scripture and practical illustrations, Stephen shows how we can trust God with our past, walk with Him in the present, and prepare for eternity with confidence. The real question isn’t whether you’ll make it to the “summit” of life’s goals, but whether you’ll make it safely home.
