“In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider. God also hath set the one over against the other, [TO THE END THAT MAN SHOULD FIND NOTHING AFTER HIM]” (Ecclesiastes 7:14).

To have lived a lifetime in wealth and riches without JESUS CHRIST would have ALL BEEN FOR NOTHING (John 1:1-4; 14; 3:16-18)!

Even if a person were able to make one million dollars a year, build a dream house; own a private island; own a mega yacht and private jet; jewelry and art collections; and all other trappings of wealth of the rich and famous of the world – ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will be remembered when that person dies!

“His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish” (Psalm 146:4).

“For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, [ALL THE DAYS OF HIS VAIN LIFE WHICH HE SPENDETH AS A SHADOW]? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 6:12).

“[WHAT PROFIT HATH HE THAT WORKETH IN THAT WHEREIN HE LABOURETH]?

I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end” (Ecclesiastes 3:9-11).

“I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: [FOR ALL IS VANITY].

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?” (Ecclesiastes 3:18-22).

“Blessed be the LORD, who [DAILY] loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah” (Psalm 68:19).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel [FROM EVERLASTING, AND TO EVERLASTING]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13).
