Today’s Scripture

The brightest and best, along with the foolish and senseless, God sees that they all will die one day, leaving their houses and wealth to others. Even though they name streets and lands after themselves, hoping to have their memory endure beyond the grave, legends in their own minds, their home address is now the cemetery! The honor of man is short-lived and fleeting. There’s little difference between man and beast, for both will one day perish. Such is the path of foolish men and those who quote everything they say, for they are here today and gone tomorrow!

Psalm 49:10-13

Today’s Thought

The memory of all we do in the earth probably won’t live beyond the grave. It’s what we do for Christ that matters most. We must learn to live with an eternal existence rather than a temporal one.

Today’s Confession

Lord, help me to remember what’s important in life. To live my life focused on the eternal, not on what’s happening in the temporal. Help my mind stay Heaven-centered and focused every single day.
