And
Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this
wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the
LORD with all your heart; And turn ye not aside: for then should ye
go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are
vain. 1 Samuel, Chapter 12, verses 20-21.
At
times we go after vain things ourselves. Some examples would be:
wealth, prestige, jobs, social status, etc., which can’t bring us
Salvation. Sometimes God-fearing people get so focused on their
career goals that they lose sight of their faith, their family and
their ethics in the name of getting ahead.
Are
wealth, prestige and social status really worth it? Is this the
lifestyle you really want to model for your children and your
grandchildren?
