Wah... the house is big and beautiful! Wahh.... so many big cars.
Wah.... got more than one maids in the house.
Ever experience that moment where you are in awe of other people's
wealth? I had.... many times... and I wonder whether I'll some day
experience all this wealth. And I'm still wondering. But then I know
that it is all material things that will not last. I thank God for
what He has already given me. Good health, good mind, salvation which
life for eternity, a good wife, sweet Annabelle and another one coming
soon, a good family, a good country, a job/ministry and many more. To
that I'm grateful and contented. Indeed the Lord is good and generous.
Today I read Psalm 45 - 50. Many wonderful wisdom from the psalms.
This is one of them.
"Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his
house increase; he will take nothing with him when he dies, his
splendor will not descend with him." Psalm 49:16-17
When I die, my heavenly dwelling is much much better than the most
beautiful house in this world. Why then should I be in awe?
