Life

The teacher, wisdomite, author of ecclesiastes puts it this way:

"OH, the vanity, of life!"
"Meaningless, meaningless, it's all meaningless!"

And sometimes one has to wonder...why love something that in a split second can just end? You can go to sleep one day and never wake up. Doesn't it make much more sense to stand in awe of forever? The vanity, meaninglessness of life has to do with vanity/pride, for life is the opportunity to make a name for ourselves. The wild thing is, Christ refused to make a name for Himself, and is now sitting on the throne in heaven.

O Sovereign One! How wise are your ways! How impossible to not stand in awe of such wisdom!

The futility of life and the love of it. But it is not completely purposeless, since it is the agent by which we will be with forever. :)

Come Lord Jesus!
