"All For Naught"

"For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others." (Psalms 49:10) And then we have the flip side, the material world, where nothing counts for nothing, as in, if it's not real then it does not get past the grave! I just pulled a U-haul up here from Southern California, so I can freshly attest to the fact, "You will never see a Hearse Pulling A U-Haul!" It's a fact that we do not get to take anything with us when we depart, it is all left behind for others, and it is dissolved back into the earth. Being in the Termite Industry, I can also attest to the way God has created those little creatures for a very special purpose, and they are very good at what they have been created for, which is breaking down dead wood back into the soil. Everything goes back into the earth in one way or another; which is the way that God has designed all of creation; it comes from the earth, and it returns to the earth. That includes these bodies that we have been given to dwell within; they will end up being dissolved back into the earth from which they were created. In a way, you could say the same for wealth that we leave behind to others: it gets dissolved into the hands of other people, which will eventually be dissolved back into the earth. Freaky, isn't it? It really does not matter how hard you plan, or how well you manage your money, because it's all going to end up going right back where it came from, the dirt! The only investment that can be counted beyond the grave is that which is counted for Christ! You want to leave something meaningful for your children, then leave them safe in the arms of Jesus! That is a goal to set your heart upon! Say, "Before I die, I want to see all of my family saved and ready to meet me on the other side!" Otherwise, it's really all for naught... "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew it to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:47-50)
