Ecclesiastes 1:16-18..."I said in my heart,"I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my hear has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge." And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind. For in much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow."
We are tempted so easily to conform to this world. We stretch our hands out and hold earthly things, but ultimately they turn to sand. All this world does is eat us up. Let us not focus our eyes on earthly things, but focus our eyes on that which is above. Focus our eyes on Christ. All is vanity under the sun!
