What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 1:3
Today we see how people are struggling to get rich, although it is not bad to live comfortable. But when we have money as our first place and we leave the other things outside and we become haughty, then if we had a little love we will not have more love because it will go out and will be changed by the love of money and let us remember that the Word of God tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil.
Here King Solomon was reminding everyone that everything is vanity and that we could not focus only on having everything but that all this is temporary and that everything pass away because everything is vanity. It is important that we keep in mind that the heavens and the earth will pass away as it says in the Word of God, but that he who does the will of God abides forever.
Here the preacher said that it is not bad to have riches but we need to be careful when using these riches, and that everything pass away and everything that moves around us, each one of these things that we use should be used with much wisdom so that the vanities do not come into our lives and take the first place as it is happening today with everyone.
Many people say, “I have a lot of money and I have to enjoy it and walk around the world and I can do whatever I want,” but they forget that earthly things are temporary, and they ignore that one day they will have to give an account before God for all that the things they did on this earth.
Jesus, rich and powerful, creator of all things, became poor and came into this world and was born in a manger so that everyone, poor and rich could take this teaching. Jesus wants us to learn from each of these teachings.
But the preacher says everything is vanity, everything under the sun is vanity, everything passes away, so it is good that our lives are in Christ Jesus so that through Him we can be saved and we can abandon all vanity that there is in our hearts, and for this to happen, it is good that we can approach the Almighty God, because He is the one who takes away sin and heals our wounds and He is the one who leads us to eternal life forever.
And finally remember, all is vanity under the sun. Do not let vanity flood your heart, nor your mind, nor your soul, nor your spirit, nor your family, nor your companions, nor anything that you have around, because through vanity you can lose everything, even you life. God bless you.
