). So, while fish has its root in water, and grass in earth (soil), man's root is in God. He, therefore, becomes empty when disconnected from God as fish dies when removed from water, and grasses wither when uprooted from the earth.
). Until the day the symbol of connection was shaved off his head on the laps of Delilah, he was full of incredible strength from God. He then became void of his divine endowment and as any other man, weak, because the Lord had departed from him.

TRUE EMPTINESS - THE ABSENCE OF GOD
(Jdg.

A group of students was asked to peep into a tank and describe what they saw. All described the tank as being empty except one who noted that the tank was rather full of air (though invisible). This explains how emptiness could also be described as, being full of nothing (vanity).

PRAYER: Dear Father, fill me up till I overflow. I submit all areas of my life to you; I leave no room for vanity.
