Fame Seekers

And moreover I saw under the sun the place of
judgment, that wickedness was there; and the
place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 
Ecclesiastes 3:16

When I think of the people who came into my life, told their lies, took what they wanted, and... 

Then moved on to write their articles and publish their books in the quest for fifteen minutes of fame, what vanity. The Bible says that there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Times may have changed, but people have not. Men scheme, they plot their courses as they seek to promote themselves, and many times their ambitious plans appear to succeed.

Yet nothing can thwart what the Lord has ordained. Ultimately, His purpose will be accomplished. Puny men may seek to establish their ways. But they will be forced to confess their follies to a God they have never known.

For a day of judgment is coming when every soul will have to bow to a power infinitely greater than his own.

D.B.
