Ecclesiastes 12:8
“Vanity of
vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.”
Could we not be
saying the same today? Vanity is all around us.
Part of the
definition of the word “Vanity” in the Webster's 1828 Dictionary says: “Empty
pleasure; vain pursuit; idle show; unsubstantial enjoyment.”
Do we not see
much of this today? The vain pleasures of people, the vain pursuit of happiness
in this life has caused many of God's people to fall out of fellowship with the
Lord.
We look around
us and we see the empty promises made by our politicians and even by so-called
men of God. And the people love to have it so. As long as their ears are
tickled with promises of health and wealth and prosperity they care not for the
outcome.
Where are you
today? Are you serving the Lord as you should or as you please? Is the hope you
follow after vanity or is your hope in our Lord and Savior? Flee the lust of
this life. Run from the pride and vanity of this life. Seek Jesus Christ and
follow Him. For it is only through Christ Jesus that we have truth and hope and
peace.
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
