Heavenly Wealth

Psalm 39:6 & 7

Surely every man walks in a vain show,
A boastful display of pride that will flow;
Surely they are being distressed in vain,
For some of them enjoy acting insane;
Greed causing to heap up the treasure,
Knowing not who will gather for pleasure;
For me, I'd rather wait for my reward,
I have put all of my hope is in the Lord;
Why should I be greedy and cold hearted,
For a fool and his money are soon parted;
Waste not and want not is my motto,
I am not one either to play the Lotto;
Don't tell me about a get rich quick scheme,
It only makes a nightmare from your dream;
Even though I may not have very much,
I thank the Lord for His golden touch;
My wealth is not in money rather blessings,
Rather than a wealth in material belongings;
God gave me riches in health and wisdom,
With an inheritance in the Heavenly Kingdom.
