Vanity upon vanity, everything is vanity.
Ebenezer Obey sang the song‘Vanity upon vanity,All is vanity...’
I use to laugh at those words everytime I see it. Today I saw a post that money is vanity and the girl loves money even if it is vanity. I started smiling. Then I saw the post money can buy happiness and it is true but for a limited time.
From dust we came and from dust we shall return. We came into this world for a purpose but after all the bags, clothes and wigs, the things of the world, can we use it for eternity? Even if we are buried with it, we cannot use it in the afterlife for we shall stand before the throne of grace to be judged. I saw another post where all the gold was buried with the person and they later stole the casket, threw the deceased away and took the casket with the gold. Quite hilarious I must say but it is what is happening in the world today which is wrong.
We should enjoy the things of the world but there will come a time we will become one with the dust and the words ‘vanity upon vanity’ becomes a reality.
Truly deep post and it's painful but through
