It’s All Vanity

Scripture Ecclesiastes 1:2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Observation: everything we do unless it is for the Lord is vanity. Doesn’t matter what it is whether feeding the hungry, helping others, attending church or even doing a ministry is all vanity unless we are doing unto the Lord. I know I’ve done things in my life that appeared to be serving my Lord, but I was doing it for me whether to look good to others or to feel good about myself and all was lost. There is no reward in heaven unless our purpose is to serve God with the time we have here.

Application: I need to take things in prayer and ask God what He desires of me and with no fanfare from others just do it focused on my God. I’m a servant of God first and He needs to be the one that commands me in what He wants of me.

Prayer: My Lord I need to hear from you. I seek to hear your voice in all of the distractions of this world and then obey whatever it is your calling me to do. You are my God, my Master and my Father, my purpose is to serve you. I love you, Lord.
