The January Doorpost
By Ray King · Jan 01, 2012
Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
Psalm 49:20
Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.
Psalm 49:16-19
How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
Proverbs 16:16
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
Matthew 19:30
