Thoughts on Ecclesiastes // Vanity
Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
-Ecclesiastes 1:2
We read the word vanity countless times throughout the course of Ecclesiastes. Solomon will repeat this key word over, and over, and over again. The danger of such repetition for the reader is that we can get so accustomed to it’s use that we don’t pay attention to it anymore. Lets take a moment to look deeply at the word, realize it’s significance, and resolve to be deliberate in reading it.
