Life is Meaningless
Here we must see a few things:
Solomon is showing the reality of evil, injustice, and death
His father, David shows us this same understanding in:
Life is fleeting.
Life is but a breath.
Life is frustrating.
Life is meaningless.
What does vanity mean?
In Hebrew it means hebel 73× breath; by extension: something with no substance, meaninglessness, worthlessness, vanity, emptiness, futility; idol.

How many people have I led to Christ?
Do I stay in the military or get out?

Are your hobbies taking your eyes off of Christ?
There are many questions that you could ask yourself or even ask God to reveal what is taking you away from what Christ wants for the world.
Only you will know.
Is The End Upon Us?
I bring up these few verses because it is the wisdom of man that is leading to some of these and they too are in vain.
Matthew 24:6-
We are seeing the Father move upon the earth right before our eyes.

The Only Thing That Lasts
Paul shows us what matters throughout his letters to the churches.
1 Corinthians 6:12-
1 Corinthians
The Message Bible ends it this way:
I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.
We must understand that we must embrace the difficulties life brings us.
We need to also understand that anything that is apart of the will of our Father, preaching the gospel, making disciples, and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, is done in vain.
As we see the day dragging near, where our only hope lies let us apply .
