Don't Trust In Money

Psalm 49

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. Hear
this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,
both low and high, rich and poor alike: My mouth will speak
words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give
understanding. I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp
I will expound my riddle: Why should I fear when evil days
come, when wicked deceivers surround me—those who trust in
their wealth and boast of their great riches? No man can
redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him—the
ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—that he
should live on forever and not see decay. For all can see that
wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and
leave their wealth to others. Their tombs will remain their
houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had named lands after themselves. But man, despite
his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that
perish. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and
of their followers, who approve their sayings. Selah Like
sheep they are destined for the grave, and death will feed on
them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their
forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely
mansions. But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will
surely take me to himself. Selah Do not be overawed when a man
grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he
will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not
descend with him. Though while he lived he counted himself
blessed— and men praise you when you prosper—he will join the
generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of
life. A man who has riches without understanding is like the
beasts that perish. (Psalms 49:1-20)

--
Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone, not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess. 1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone
gets the glory (Eph. 2:8-9).
