Vanity, Vanity all is Vanity says Solomon. The older I have gotten I have discovered that the words of Solomon ring true. Everyday is the same thing. Life is composed of cycles that keep repeating themselves. This is why addictions are so common in our society. For the first time I have begun to understand Solomon’s words. This cycle of life becomes vanity – meaninglessness without Jesus. This common cycle of birth to death will drive a person insane without Christ. In order to attempt to overcome these cycles mankind develops addictions including legalism – achieving right standing with God through good works.

All Believers have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20), we no longer live but Christ lives in us. His life in us gives each believer the ability to enjoy the vanity or cycles of life. With Christ living His life through each believer a person can learn to enjoy the vanities of life. Enjoy your career without making it your life. Enjoy your new hobbies without making it your life.

Enjoy Jesus Christ because He is your life.
