Observation
What point is made regarding material wealth in the scheme of eternity?
Application

Prayer
Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear God, The lure of money and all that it can bring in this life is strong. Please keep me from the love of money, and from jealous envy of those who have more than I. Instead, remind me of my eternal treasure in You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Pray to BLESS!
