Week 46 Day 3: All Is Vanity
Question：Why Does the Teacher Say That Everything Is Vanity?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- The Teacher says that everything is vanity. All human toil brings no lasting profit, because what has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything under the sun is vanity, a chasing after the wind.
- Pleasure is vanity. Everything people undertake and accomplish through their labor is vanity. The wise and the foolish alike face the same fate, and both enjoyment and toil are vanity.
- There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. Yet no one can comprehend God’s work from beginning to end.
- Everyone faces death; therefore, everything is vanity.
- All oppression, toil, skill, envy, rule, and political power are vanity.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - People come and go in this world, yet there is nothing new under the sun. In the face of historical reality, each human life is but a brief glimpse within the passage of time. Do I feel this way? How does my faith change my perspective on history?
- Fidelity - If people work merely to pursue pleasure and accumulate wealth, their labor will ultimately be meaningless because everything is temporary. But what different meaning does our faith give to our work? How does this change the way I view the work I do with my own hands?
