John Chrysostom (347-407) was a church father who served as archbishop of Constantinople. He wisely stated, "If you knew how quickly people would forget about you after your death, you will not seek in your life to please anyone but God."
Solomon in all of his wisdom wrote, "No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them" (Ecclesiastes 1:11).
Fame is fleeting, and it doesn't provide an ounce of solace on your deathbed or beyond the grave. So, are you striving for the applause of man, or the applause of Heaven? When you die, will you hear these words from the Lord: "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21).
Social media has a way of making certain people feel popular, wanted, special and almost untouchable. But it is all a facade, like smoke from a spectacular fireworks show that quickly evaporates into nothing more than a fond memory.
The Bible presents things as they really are: "What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes" (James 4:14). "No one has power over the wind to contain it; so no one has power over the day of his death" (Ecclesiastes 8:8).
