"Trust in your money and down you go! The Godly flourish like the leaves in spring."
Are you counting on your money and wealth to save you from death? Do you think that you can buy eternal salvation from the God who owns everything in the universe? Why do you think they added the words, "In God We Trust", to the money of America? Do you think it was to show that we do not trust in our wealth or money but in God in the United States? There are a diminishing number of Americans who look to God as the one to trust. What will happen when the majority of citizens do not trust or look to God but instead trust in their monetary system or themselves? If we depend on our wealth to sustain us as a nation, the One Truth Today is that down we will go! As for the believer's, IN GOD WE TRUST!
Anyone who leans on and puts their trust and confidence in riches will surely fall! Down they go! Looking to money to save you will fail every time and has no answer when you are facing death. Wealth, like fame, is fleeting, here today and gone tomorrow. The Lord God is forever! God's saving grace and mercy is the only way you can be saved from death. That is why the Godly person flourishes like the leaves in spring and obtains eternal life. It is the same here on earth, the Godly person flourishes and the fruit of righteousness is the gift of eternal life and being in the presence of the Lord forever. Who do you trust?
Think of all the famous people you have known that had riches for a moment and then their life ended in a drug induced stupor or worse. Think of all those that relied on their 401k retirement programs or their stocks and bonds to save them. Their wealth can be gone in a moment. Think of all the pharaohs and kings and leaders who refused to bend their knee to God, where are they now? What did their money and riches do for them? They rejected God and they rejected the free gift of eternal life. Instead they chose to rely and depend on their money or themselves to be saved from death. Bad choices lead to bad results. Do not trust in your money or wealth or you will go down. TRUST IN GOD!
