Proverbs 23:4-5 NIV
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
In light of recent events, one thing stands out to me more than anything else... you shouldn't washed time planning out a life that you cannot keep or control.
You are taught in American culture to secure your future with 401k funds or retirement funds. That you need to have a certain amount to live on or a certain standard of living. You are also taught to work your entire life to save up to eventually "relax" and let go.
But this goes against the bible. God doesn't want you to plan for your future like Americans do. He wants you to trust he will provide and to go to him to secure your future in heaven for eternity vs. The temporary one that just lasts until your death.
I hope that as you face your day tomorrow your perspective is different and you are more focused on you heavenly rewards than your earthly rewards.
