Proverbs 11: 1-31

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

"Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf." The things of this world cannot truly satisfy our needs. We can have all the money in the world, which will enable us to buy the biggest house in the world, with which we can stuff all the possessions of the world, but if we do not have God then there will be a gaping hole inside of us that is as big as the Pacific Ocean. We can have no money to buy the things we need, no house in which to live, and no possessions to call our own, but if we have God we will be rich beyond all measure, being blessed with everything we need in life. The real problem is that all the money, houses, possessions, etc. do not last forever, and you cannot take them with you when you go. But God stands forever. He will never fall. And when we go, we will find God waiting for us, with arms wide open ready to welcome us into his kingdom. Do not put your trust in the things of this world. Or, as Jesus says, 'Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth...but rather store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.' God bless you.
