The economists are right! Every financial upswing is always followed by a financial downturn. Every monetary gain inevitably leads to monetary loss. So those who find security in earthly wealth eventually will be gravely disappointed, especially when they die and realize they can’t take anything with them.

God alone gives true security. God alone gives the good things that last forever. God alone is the Helper you need, as Holy Scripture tells you so clearly. Listen to it carefully. Realize once again that giving glory to God alone is at the heart of the matter.
