Psalms 49:16-19 MSG
So don’t be impressed with those who get rich and pile up fame and fortune. They can’t take it with them; fame and fortune all get left behind. Just when they think they’ve arrived and folks praise them because they’ve made good, They enter the family burial plot where they’ll never see sunshine again.
Why are we studying/working so hard to earn enough money that would give us a comfortable life? Is it worthwhile to spend so much of our time and effort to keep accumulating savings for our security? What I gather from the above verses is that all these money and popularity that we have on this earth will come to nothing when our time on earth is done. Why then, do we focus so much on having security and comfort on earth, when we will spend eternity elsewhere? I want to focus on my eternity, build and lay my treasures there, rather than on earth where I will not be able to bring my fame and fortune away with me when I am gone.
