“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher;
“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1: 2 NKJV)
What does Scripture mean when it teaches that everything is meaningless apart from God? I find a lot of comfort in the wisdom of St Teresa of Avila below:
" Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing: God alone suffices." (St Teresa of Avila)
Lord teach us how short life is so that we can become wise. (Psalm 90: 12)
