Proverbs 23:5 When you set
your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself
wings Like an eagle that flies toward the
heavens.
When we fix our eyes on stuff and things and wealth, we all
know that in a flash it can vanish. Jobs
come and go, our economy rises and falls, money stacks up and slips away, and
sometimes disasters come and wash or burn it all away.
Then we read a picture of what wealth looks like personified
like an eagle – it flies off – into oblivion.
If our eyes are fixed on things that are unstable, it will
cause us to waiver in our faith, and fall.
But if our eyes are set on things above – eternal things like
love, faith and hope – these things take root and grow, and grow, and grow and
never fade.
Where are your eyes set today?
