For many, money has become their God!
Their every waking moment is spent on how to "close the deal"!
Money gets them things!
But, do things really make you happy?
I'm not speaking of food, clothes, and shelter!
These are necessities!
Big difference between a want and a need, have you learned it?
When life is almost done and you are about to face God, will it be things you think of?
Will you want to go on one last shopping trip?
Will you want to close the last deal?
Will you want to drive your sporty car one more time?
The things we so often strive for simply will not matter!!!
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah - Psalm 49:15
17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.
18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed -and though you get praise when you do well for yourself-
19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.
20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. - Psalm 49:17-20
10 For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell. - Psalm 49:10-14
