Psalm 49:6 Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him—8 For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever—9 That he should continue to live eternally, And not see the Pit.

In today’s society, people seem to value the wealth and riches of others. We seem to be concerned with the types of cars people drive, the types of clothes people wear, the types of houses people live in, and the net worth of celebrities. It seems like the latest rap songs revolve around “getting money.” Wealth and riches are not the issue because the Word of God promises us wealth and riches (Psalm 112:3); it’s the value we place on wealth and riches.

As much as wealth and riches can do for us in this world, it has no significance on our salvation and the salvation of others. People are dying and going to hell, but some of us are more concerned with having the latest fashion trends, buying the latest Jordan shoes, and posing on Facebook with cash in our hands.

Once again, there is nothing wrong with having nice things but before you go on a shopping spree, make sure your brother and sister know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, make sure your relationship with God is strong, and make sure you’re making a positive impact in your community.
