Day 49...(Leviticus 3; Psalm 49)..."You cannot take it with you!!"

The saying "you cannot take it with you" is brought out in the Psalm. Also, the person with riches without understanding is clueless. Our economic times needs such teaching at the forefront. Here are the words..."Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him." And later..."A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish."

Are there words more needed today? Haggai, Malachi and other Books of the Old Testament will also address this subject. Wealth without understanding leads to perishing. Much like the words of Jesus..."what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)
