The writer of this psalmist certainly had the right attitude toward wealth. ... It cost the the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! In fact, Jesus warned that money keeps some people out of heaven. ... Not only can money not take us to heaven but money cannot rescue us from death, money cannot go with us, but we can use it wisely while we have it.
The psalmists advises us not to trust in wealth but to trust in the Lord. It is not a sin to have the things that money can buy as long as you don’t lose the things that money can’t buy ( eternal life). Make your wealth eternal by letting card direct your use of it.
Wealth can’t be trusted. Although a powerful resource, it’s power is limited to this temporal world. It cannot get you into heaven or conquer death. Do you trust in the world resources when you should be trusting in God?
