True wealth and riches are not material things. Giving that we get to spend a ‘nano-fraction’ of time here on this side of Eternity. And since material things are transient and fleeting, including we human beings with evanescent physical body, housing a potential eternal component which is the soul. By 50 years in after death, human tissues will have liquefied and disappeared, leaving behind mummified skin and tendons. Eventually these too will disintegrate, and after 80 years in a coffin, human bones will crack as the soft collagen inside them deteriorates, leaving nothing but the brittle mineral frame behind. Given this, the Scripture 2 Corinthians 4:18 is sharply brought into focus; So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Therefore, it goes that, true wealth and riches are those abiding concepts and believes that are eternal, such as: the fear of the Lord, the love of God, faith in God, hope in union with God and God Himself. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever [Psalm 112:1-3].
