DO NOT OVERWORK TO BE RICH. - PROVERBS 23:4
An old saying says, "The best things in life are free." There's a lot of truth in that. Some people, however, believe that the best things in life are expensive or perhaps elusive. Recently I saw a sign that made me smile and think. It said, "The best things in life are NOT THINGS." What a great way to say it! The value of family, friends, and faith points us to the realisation that what matters most in life is ALL WRAPPED UP IN PEOPLE AND THE LORD. Solomon was well qualified to speak about material things because he "surpassed all kings of the earth in riches and wisdom." (1 Kings 10:23) His advice? " 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" (Prov. 23:4-5). His recommended course of action was, "APPLY YOUR HEART TO INSTRUCTION, AND YOUR EARS TO WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE......For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off." (vv.12,18)
The Best Things in LIFE are the eternal riches that come from God's goodness and grace in Jesus Christ. We do not hold them in our hands, but IN OUR HEARTS. - David McCasland. Our greatest riches are the riches we have in Christ.
I have decided to turn to events from the church to look forward to. I have turn towards events from the marketplace to look forward to and to participate. I have turn myself to an abundance mindset to FIGHT DEPRESSION which had stayed with me through the years..... My abundance in Christ and I always go to church to praise God and to worship and to follow His Commandments. How good are you in the eyes of the Lord if you have EVERYTHING, a satisfying job and career, loads of money for shopping spree and enough money to spend when your life is not centered on the LORD??????
