Vanish

Proverbs 30:3

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

The last part of this verse answers the first part. The reason there is no knowledge of the Holy is because there's no learning of wisdom.

At least 53 times this word "WISDOM" is used in the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 1:2

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

No hearing = No learning, No Learning = No understanding, No understanding = No counsel, No counsel = No receiving instruction of wisdom! 

Proverbs 2:1

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom:

Receive, Hide, Apply, Cry after Knowledge, Seek then thou shall understand and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom:

That's why there's no wisdom and knowledge of the Holy. In order to understand and know someone you must have a relationship with them. I know what color my wives eyes are because I've looked into them 100's of times. I know what she likes and dislikes because I talked with her and watched her reaction. I know about her because I've taken the time to learn about her. Same is true with my lord and savior I've spent time with Him in His Word and He has spoken from it to my heart. Never touch His Word (the Bible) then it's easy to understand why one would become ignorant of Him. When one realizes that "this is the day the Lord has made" and not what you have made, then understanding is coming your way.

James said:

James 4:14

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

My vapor is almost gone and only what I've done for Christ will last. Where am I spending most of my time? If  I made a pie chart cut it up into three sections, one section entitled my or me time, one Work time and one God time. Me or my time includes everything that's not work time or God time. How would that pie chart look?

The verse reads "he know not what shall be on the morrow." Then a question is asked? "For what is your life?" Then the answer is given. " It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time." Compared to eternity my life is but a flash in the pan. Then notice how sadly it ends. "and then vanisheth away." Oh my all these things I'm doing for self all the hard work I'm doing for others, doing a great  job, making great company profits and productivity that one day no one will even remember. Grave yards are never busy, few will run by your grave sight. I go by my dads 3 or 4 times a year and I have never seen anyone there at his grave sight in the last 30 years. Never had to wait in line, never seen more than 3-cars in the the whole graveyard where more than a 1000  are buried. So it is true "vanisheth away." After I'm gone no one will ever go by my hero's grave sight but the grounds keeper and he want care. So tell me again why we spend so much of our time on things that matter not?

C.T Studd had it right when he made this quote.

“Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
