Thought of the Day: 11/17/09
Posted on November 17th, 2009 by Pastor Jeff in Stewardship
Proverbs 27:24 “For riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.”
Riches and possessions do not satisfy and they do not last. Even if a person owns the best of possessions like a Ferrari, eventually, he or she will have to find Ferrari parts to replace the ones which get destroyed. One law of thermodynamics says, in essence, that everything decays or moves toward regression.
So, if a person becomes dependent on riches, he or she will soon find something else to replace the satisfaction which that possession brought. Why not set our hearts on something that will last? Things that are eternal, perhaps.
