"I thought in my heart, 'Come now, I will test you wtih pleasure to find out what is good.'" Ecclesiastes 2:1
As Christians we live for something much more lasting than the cult of earthly empires and personal gain. A huge portfolio of investments might be impressive here on earth but it's meaningless from an eternal perspective. Unless we've invested in the eternal, nothing will remain after we die. The eyes of faith can see the riches of the Kingdom of God, learn to live for them at all costs.
