Vanity the child of depravity
So said Solomon all is vanity, did he know it was a spawn of depravity.
Vanity yes all is vanity, fed by pride in a self-righteous heart.
Vanity yes vanity makes you blind to yourself and others but not in our eyes.
Blinding the eyes may lead to less vanity but not probably.
how can anyone not see that the vain steal from God’s glory. Understand, the glory he does not share must be stolen.
Vanity makes God robbers of all mankind and vanity steals from mankind too. It robs itself of what is true.
Hard to see when everyone is trained to be vain. We call it respect but it is really a vain desire for power. We call it admiration by the fellowship, but it is a wish to rule.
You see, vanity will make you wish bad on others to gain good for yourself. Solomon tried to warn of the venom in this beast having tasted the poisoned wine of vanity.
Vanity will kill a witness and send self and others to hell while standing in the gate of heaven. Standing refusing to actually go in but surely block the gate for others unless they somehow cower to the power of the self-appointed vanity.
How many times has souls been turned away by vanity while the vain said, I told you so. How many times has a witness been destroyed because it is seen as vain. Vanity has determined it is the keeper of heaven stealing from Christ.
All people are vain in different ways. But the vanity of the saved and the lost accomplish the same. It keeps the holy spirit from moving in power as vanity craves applause for self.
Vanity is just another name for Satan in us. As such all is vanity, all is darkness and the door is blocked by those who think they are going in but will not because of so much time spend blocking it with vanity, from those who would.
Now the end of the thought. If you do not believe this is because the poison of vanity and not the blood of Christ fills your veins.
Depravity or vanity which is worse. You are born being one and the other a resulting curse.
Last thing, Vanity will make you assume you’re Christlike. Christ was never vain so the vain are nothing like Christ, nothing at all.
Vanity, vanity all is vanity. It fills hell while thinking it is heaven the gain. Vanity.
As hell widens her mouth.
David
The most amazing thing, people will give up their rewards in heaven for recognition on earth. Matt : 6-1 and on and on.
Vanity will always, John 16:2
