While the poor dream of having riches, the wealthy long for simplicity.
Lottery fever is sweeping the country. The lure of "get rich quick"dangles at the end of every one's line. what a hopeless illusion. Never mind that your have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning while standing on your head in a bowl of corn flakes than of winning the lottery. Quick riches never did anyone any good. They certainly never brought anyone happiness.
We've never been rich, so how do we know that? simple. We've never heard anyone say, "I'm rich and finally I'm happy. " Instead we've heard stuff like "Wealth is a burden,"or "I wish my life were a lot simpler."The truth is , wealth(and neither is there any dishonor in poverty). What matters is your contentment with what you have.
We are merely moving shadows,
and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth for someone else to spend.
PSALM 39:6
