Ep 86 | Wealth, Wisdom, & A Wasted Life
Description
What are you spending your life on?
We spend our days working, building, achieving, accumulating, and planning for the future. But in Psalm 39, David steps back from all that activity and asks God to remind him just how short his life really is. His reflection forces us to consider a sobering question: What if we gain more and more, yet spend our limited lives pursuing things that ultimately won’t last?
In this episode, we explore David’s wisdom about guarding our words, creating space to think and pray, holding wealth with the right perspective, and allowing the brevity of life to clarify what matters most. Psalm 39 reminds us that life is a breath, wealth is temporary, and our ultimate hope cannot rest in what we accumulate.
If the noise and demands of life have made it difficult to stop and examine what you’re actually living for, this episode is an invitation to slow down, take inventory, and allow God to reorient your priorities.
