ALL IS VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT


The prophet Solomon, who was considered the richest and wisest king of Israel, wrote much of The Book of Proverbs, as well as Ecclesiastes. He was one of David’s sons. David was the second king of Israel, an ancestor of Jesus Christ and a prophet who wrote much of The Book of Psalms.

There is one thing I have meditated on quite a bit over the years since I finished reading the entire Holy Bible. It is something Solomon wrote over and over in Ecclesiastes. This scripture has given me a lot of comfort throughout my trials, tribulations and so much time of seeking God’s face and wondering, “What on earth am I to do with this life you have given me?”

I want to share it with you to give you comfort as you go through life. I’m going to add the scripture references with it, in case you want to look them up yourself. It’s simply this: “…all is vanity and vexation of spirit…” (Ecclesiastes 1:4, 1:17, 2:11, 2:17, 4:4, 4:6, 4:16, 6:9)
