People often do not know just how much "stuff" they really need,
So they collect whate'er they can and it becomes as greed.
Some become as hoarders, so they buy and buy and buy.
But "stuff" will never make them rich, nor will it satisfy.
Belongings are a shallow joy... of momentary pleasure,
But knowledge of the Word of God will be a greater treasure.
People need a balance and to realize what they most need.
Wisdom is the best choice... which will make them rich indeed.
Too much "stuff" gets in the way and takes up time when we could pray.
It's better to spend time with God and simply give the "stuff" away.
Wisdom can't be bought and sold but it will help us to succeed.
Wisdom is a symbol that we're very rich indeed.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
