All Is "Vanity".

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. (Ecclesiastes 1:2)

Everything is so meaningless. The Teacher says that it is all a waste of time!(Ecclesiastes 1:2) 

 

All Is “Vanity”.

 

Be Careful With “Vanity”!

God’s Word tells us that “All” Is Vanity.

 

Since “All” is vanity, “What Should the Kingdom Citizen Do”?

 

Vanity - Empty pleasure; vain pursuit; idle show; unsubstantial enjoyment.

Vanity leads to Depression and Worse.

             

Vanity – Useless.

Naked I Came Into The World and Naked I Am Going Out Of This World.

God’s Word tells Us That, “All Is Vanity, Useless, Meaningless”.

 

Remember – Only What We Do For Christ Will Last!

 

The Conclusion Concerning Life from the Wisest Man to Ever Live.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

 

Our Daily Nugget is the message from God to us to 

“Not Love The World Nor The Things In It”.

 

Nothing on this earth is meant to last forever. Keeping this fact in our heart/mind will guide us to keep “things” in their proper place and “order” of importance. God’s command to us is to not Love the world nor the things in it. 

 

When we “began” to love the world and the things in it, we “start” vanity in our heart/mind toward that thing.  Our heart/mind is where our “motives” are formed.  God judges our “Motives”.  When our motives are pure and just, our actions will be “Pleasing to God” and free from vanity.  We cannot see where each other’s motives are formed, only God can; therefore, He is the only, righteous judge.  He alone Knows Everything.

 

 

Things that we do for God, and vanity, the 

things we do for ourselves, cannot dwell in the same heart/mind at the same time.

 

God Demands “First Place”!

As we make God first in our lives, God will make us first in His Life.

 

The more we make God the “Most Important Thing In Our Heart/Mind,

The less room there is for “Vanity” to exist.  Reason being, Light and darkness cannot occupy the same heart/mind at the same time.  Placing and Keeping God First, will keep everything else in order and prevents “Vanity” from forming.

 

By letting the mind/heart that Jesus 

had be the heart/mind that we have, will keep vanity from forming in our heart/mind.

 

If the American economy crashes and I lose all the equity in my house, if my 401k loses seventy to eighty percent of its value, if the banks go under and I lose all my savings, if the American government is destroyed and replaced by some dictatorship, if the freedoms we enjoy are gone, “I will not fret”, because “vanity” does not dwell in my heart/mind concerning those things.

 

Love the Blesser and “Never” the Blessings!

This will keep God in First Place and vanity in No Place.

Only “enjoy” the blessings, never love them.

 

Ask God to Bless You With the Wisdom to Live 

“Free from Vanity”

And Watch What Happens.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

Come.

                                                                                  Come. The Spirit and the Bride says, “Come”. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come”!   And let the one who “Hears” Come!   Let the one who is “Thirsty” Come”; and let the one who “Wishes” take the free gift of the water or life.   (Revelation 22:17) This is a “Call” for all to “accept the gift of eternal life offered through Christ! Our Daily Nugget is letting Kingdom Citizens know that we “Must Be About Our Father’s Business” of Sharing the Invitation to “Come” with everybody we can.   We do this through our Living and our Words.   What we Do speaks so loud, till no one hears what we say.   Our saying is the Destiny of our Thinking; doing is a natural follow through. To Think ...

Do It Again!

                                                                           Do It Again! The Power of “Repetition” is “Victory”. Keep on Asking, and “You Will Receive What you Ask For”, Keep on Seeking, and “You Will Find”.   Keep on Knocking, and “The Door Will Be Opened To You”.   (Matthew 7:7) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest “If We Do Not Give Up”.   (Galatians 6:9) Everything we’ve “Learned To Do”, we “Learned Through Repetition”. When we were born, we could basically do three things, cry,  eat and excrete waste;  everything above those three we learned through Repetition; walking, talking, etc. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us, “Don’t Give Up”, Just “Do It Again”! There is a saying that goes like this, “Quitters Never W...
