all is vanity

No one can transform themselves by his own will.

Read that again.

Yet that dream job is something we have all wished or hope for.

We have no power by which we think we can posse to be changed forever. None, if something appeals to us that would give us what we think we want, there is always a catch.

We are like dough which is made of flour and water, but without leaven (yeast/life/good bacteria/ a thriving colony) dense, unformed and heavy laden.

If you try to make bread with it, it will only be a cooked dense heavy brick, a harden piece of dough.

The only way for that bread to become a big beautiful loaf of bread – filled with bubbles which rise to the challenge of the ovens heat in the process becoming a tasty and enjoyable life giving piece of bread, is that special ingredient it needed at the beginning. A life giving ingredient, Jesus Christ.

We have free will to run the way we want as long as we have our breathe, but if we are not purposely seeking the Kingdom of God, the one who created us. We will be like that bread, not made right.

The only way to run this race is to commit your life to Jesus Christ, then the desired change will be done, it’s when we give Him permission to lead and teach us in the way we should go that change will happen.

Those dreams we once cherished will instead be a desire to align with Gods will, when we give our lives to Christ as sinners this gives Him permission to lead and teach us in the way that we need to go, then the true dream will happen

Gods grace is for everyone, but it must be received by the sinner before he can be fitted for the Kingdom of glory.

‘Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; For what can the man do who succeeds the king?— Only what he has already done.

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly

As light excels darkness.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all. So I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart, “This also is vanity.” For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool! Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind. Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity. Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity. Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.’

Ecclesiastes 2:12-26

So let us run to Jesus, He is waiting and willing.

In Christ Love, Amen
