The passage above warns us against the constant desire to gain wealth, painting a picture of sorrow and destruction for those who seek after riches. Throughout the scriptures, the concept of seeking wealth and loving materialism is always shown in a negative light. It seems as though it is a trend in today’s world for people to glorify wealth and physical possessions. In our modern world, things have become somewhat more convenient. We must make time for this, striving to become closer to Yahweh, especially in this world full of distractions.
