One of the consequences of the original sin is for the man to work hard to provide for his family.
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. Genesis 3:17
Since the time of Genesis up to this moment you're reading, that consequence is very much applicable or should I say visible and experience.
In today's society which the cost of living is very much high, even if the man works harder, sometimes his income would not suffice to cover his family's basic needs. Moreover, to compensate the demand of the society, the woman had to work also.
Providing the basic needs is just the start and it's not yet a problem, even to strive for more. However, if we become so busy and have forgotten who do we work for? That's becomes a very big problem.
Most people who have everything had forgotten their priority.
Most people who strive to have everything have different priority.
Most people who have nothing knows their priority.
Kind David already understood in Psalm, his son King Solomon had to realized in Proverbs.
Trusting to our wealth gains nothing. We can't even bring them we die.
Everything we've worked for was destined to be owned by someone.
At then end, when face our creator, can we tell Him, at least we have died trying to follow Him.
As I have read Psalm 49, I was reminded again that I can't serve two masters as it was said in Matthew 6:24.
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Since I already know who the Master is, He's definitely my priority (doing my best, so help me God).
You may not have the wealth in this world, but the true wealth is in heaven where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal (Matthew 6:19).

Read Your Bible and Prays everyday and you'll grow, grow, grow.
