"Do not wear yourself out trying to be rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, WEALTH DISAPPEARS, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle."
Is it your desire to be rich? How much wealth would be enough for you? What price are you willing to pay to obtain riches and wealth? Would you sacrifice you physical or mental well being to become rich? Would you violate mans, or God's laws to achieve riches? If you lose your honor or respect, your social or spiritual life would you still do anything to get rich? Assuming that you become rich, how much will it take out of your relationship with the Lord? Our One Truth Today is to remind us all that, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, WEALTH DISAPPEARS! The advice in this scripture is to not wear yourself out trying to be rich and be wise enough to know when to quit trying!
We are on this earth for such a short time, in comparison to our eternal life. Is it wise to spend your time and energy trying to be rich? After all, we came into this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Any earthly riches that you accumulate will be given to others. That is if is has not been taken all ready. You could wear yourself out here on earth doing something that has no eternal value to your soul. Wealth like our lives is here today and gone tomorrow.
Do not rely on your riches, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, WEALTH DISAPPEARS!
So many hurt themselves and others in the effort to become rich. The fact is that the Lord owns everything and it will never really be ours. The Lord gives gifts to his children and in the end everything comes from God. God knows when we have enough, the question is do we? The typical miser is covetous and greedy and he loses his life at the expense of his riches. It takes the Word of God to gain wisdom and knowledge about riches. We are advised not to wear our selves out trying to be rich. We are advised to be wise enough to know when to quit trying to be wealthy. Most importantly we told in advance that IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, WEALTH DISAPPEARS, it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. Are you listening?
