Ecclesiastes 5:15 Naked with nothing

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Well? Is money your life? Or is God you life? The love of money or the use of money?

Ecclesiastes 5:15 "As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand." KJV

We have just talked about riches, and the love of riches; risky investments, hoarding the riches. Now Solomon is simply saying you will leave the world as you entered - naked and with nothing.

What happens is greed results in a man placing unbearable burden on himself and in the end is destruction. The fortune that he has killed himself to accumulate can be lost in a moment; and then he will return to the place where he will have nothing in his hand.

We will all be separated from our possessions at death. Solomon says we came into this world naked and we will go into eternity in the same fashion, carrying nothing, possessing nothing. A man who has laboured all his life, just for riches, will have spent all his days in darkness, sickness, and anger. There has been no profit in his journey.

However, on the other hand, the man who loves the LORD our GOD, will reap his riches in eternity by being with God, singing praises, and living eternally in happiness, peace and love. What will it be for you? Riches or God? Difficult choice for some, the right choice for many. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
