Do not weary yourself to gain wealth. Cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:4-5
How much this is like the words of Paul in I Timothy 6:10. The love of money really is the root of all sorts of evil. It is the kind of pursuit that doesn't allow us to focus on anything else, and when we lose it, we realize we have lost everything important along the way. It is fine for us to own things, but when things own us, our troubles will never end. Get rich schemes often seem too good to be true. In fact, they aren't true. Trust in the Lord
