Proverbs 23:4, 5
“Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease! Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven.”
The world is living only for this life, not knowing what will happen afterward. Because of this, they are getting all they can in the short years allotted to them. Sadly, all that people are pursuing will perish, from the new shoes to fancy cars, the big homes, and more than that, even their dogs will die and their own bodies also, no matter how many facelifts they get.
We are given insight into eternity from our Creator, who is counseling us to abandon our worthless pursuit of worldly riches! Cease! They will all fly away! Rather, work your jobs and get what you need, but exhaust your energies into Christ! Seek to further His kingdom and do His will, for His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom that will not pass away!
