Oh, c'mon! We are swamped with the vain pursuit of the profound. We post status updates on Facebook that are tersely worded or even mildly mysterious, hoping for a "like" or twenty, anticipating expressions of "attaboy" or "Amen." Is that the praise we seek? Is that the fulfillment we desire? Is that the treasure we pursue? Are we trying to be profound? Are looking for the "historical" moment or comment to end all others?
Good grief. This was supposed to be a post that mocked affectations of the profound. Where did I go wrong?
Amen. We are a vain people, seeking profundity for the sake of praise, rather than seeking the profundity of praising God. ;)
