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.
Vain Christians, are wealth, prestige and social status really worth
it? Is this the lifestyle you really
want to model for your children and your grandchildren?
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
