Do not toil to acquire wealth; be wise enough to desist. When your eyes light upon it, it is gone; for suddenly it takes to itself wings. Proverbs 23:4, 5
Lord …..Solomon went on in this next verse to tell his son how quickly the wealth could vanish. Although I didn’t live during the depression I sure heard the stories of how much of the wealthy was lost during that time. Lives were changed forever. Many took their lives in despair.
We in my generation experienced it in a small measure when all our stock hit rock bottom.
Solomon reminds his son and us too that heaven is our home and that is where we need to store up our treasure. ‘Only one life will soon be passed and only what is done for Christ will last’ …. says it so well.
Thank you for the reminder Lord.
Thank You Lord.
Amen
