Proverbs 11

The American culture has many obsessions. One of them focuses on the accumulation of wealth. Verse 28 of this chapter reveals the weakness of this obsession. Though many seek to stabilize their lives on the collection of money they eventually find that it is a weak ally for this life. Wealth can keep none of its promises, and instead of bouying us up it can become a burdensome weight upon our lives. Those who fear God base their lives on his standards and desires for us. Then we shall be set free.
