Since graduating from college this past semester and my grandma passing away this summer, the vanity of life has gotten so much more clearer. Since graduating, everyone automatically expects me to get a career. Why? It's like we are almost programmed to "do certain things" as if we were machines. Get a career, husband, have children , pay off debts (mortgages, cars, etc) of things I do not own, hopefully make it to retirement and then die of cancer. Meaningless, meaningless, all is meaningless.
King Solomon after exploring a life of riches, women, wisdom, and work comes to this conclusion:
"The conclusion, when all has been heard, is:
fear God and keep his commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil"
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
May we live in the fear of God and in obedience until the day we die. For everything else, is vanity.
