The Insanity of Trusting in Wealth

How we view wealth and power will ultimately reveal much about the state of our hearts. In this psalm, the Sons of Korah speak to the reality that it is the height of folly to trust in riches. The reason is quite simple: death is the great equalizer of all mankind. In death, no amount of money, power, or prestige you had in this life will make any difference in the world before God. The only meaningful difference will be if you've trusted and hoped in God, for He alone has the ability to redeem you from the power of death.
