Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Money does not last forever. No matter what we do to it money will eventually cease to be worth something. Treasures on earth, as Jesus, will succumb to moth, rust, and thieves. With that in mind we are reminded, in this proverb to not spend too much time accumulating wealth that is of an earthly nature, for the wealth will not last. There is also the matter of the getting of the wealth. While we can be positive and say that most people earn their money in the right way, we can also safely say that there are exceptions to that: people who lie, cheat, and steal their way to wealth. These are activities we need to avoid. There is nothing wrong with having money, with having a certain lifestyle. However, if the love of that money causes us to forget God and our treasures in heaven, and leads us down a path of sin, then we need to make a change. It is okay to have money, but not to let the money have you. God bless you.
