VAIN RICHES

Proverbs 23:4, 5b says, “Labor not to be rich. Cease from thine own wisdom…for riches certainly make themselves wings. They fly away as an eagle toward heaven [lost in the sky].”

The wealth of this world will do you no good at the end of life. It will fly away, vanishing into nothingness at the end of your life. Only that which is stored up in heaven will endure, and then only if you are a believer in Jesus, or Jehovah in the Old Testament.

In this world you might have money, houses, land, or many “creature comforts” of life, but none of that counts in eternity. Only the treasures of the spiritual realm will endure. And, not just any “spiritual” realm, but only that which looks unto the holy and merciful Heavenly Father [Jehovah] and His Christ, Jesus, the anointed one.

There are many who claim to be spiritual, but their “spirituality” is rooted in a source that is not of Jehovah [Yahweh] or Jesus. It is from the dark side whether or not they are consciously aware of it. It will lead them to hell. Their life on earth will have been lived in vain. Even worse, it will have been lived unto eternal destruction.

I will close with these words: “Just one life, ‘twill soon be past – Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
