How Is It That A Rich Mans’ Wealth Is His Strong City?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom know to keep their view of wealth in perspective. In Jesus’s name, amen.
Television news constantly reports on the economic issues of the day: inflation, gas prices, housing costs, and the threat of recession. Markets are constantly fluctuating. World events impact world markets. Fortunes come and fortunes go.
For those with wealth, their money can be like Solomon tells us in Proverbs 18:11 (ESV).
“A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
and like a high wall in his imagination.”
Do you have a high wall of protection based on some tangible resource? Has your imagined wall of protection allowed you to be less than ready if a financial crisis were to bring about financial ruin?
Wise advice: Be prepared if the high wall in your imagination is not high enough.
Instead trust God.
