The Exchange

You spend your wealth to keep your health,
Chasing life, preserving self.
Doctors, cures, and fleeting days,
Gold slips through in countless ways.

Then comes a time when health is spent,
And toward your wealth your heart is bent.
You trade your strength for gain in vain,
Yet neither can your soul sustain.

For wealth will fade, and health will go,
A truth that every heart must know.
But treasures stored where moths can’t reach,
Are found in Christ, who longs to teach.

So guard your life with wisdom true,
Both wealth and health God gave to you.
But seek first Him, the Giver of breath,
The only One who conquers death.

Mat 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

For God’s Honor and Glory
