For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
Ecclesiastes 2:21 is all about the misfortunes of success. You might gain and control a massive amount of wealth, but at the end of the day you can’t take anything with you to the grave. All worldly possessions become meaningless unless you leave a legacy that turns misfortune into fortune. Jesus taught us in Matthew 16:26, “And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?” Leave a behind a legacy that makes people remember how God moved in your life. Leave behind a legacy that can be used to bring people to Jesus Christ. If today was your last day on earth, how would everyone remember you? What would your legacy be?
