“Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.” (Psalms 49:16-17 AKJV)

 Riches are fleeting and have no eternal value. Faith in God will sustain us now and forever.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9 AKJV)

 Jesus left the majesty of Heaven to come and die for our sins. This is real love. Shouldn’t we love Him in return?

“For there is not a just man on earth, that does good, and sins not.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 AKJV)

“Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7 AKJV)

The word for cheerful in the original text is the word from which we get hilarious. We should really get a kick out of the opportunity to give to God and others.

“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10 AKJV)

 Material things will not stand the test of time. Our love relationship with the Lord and with others pays eternal dividends.
