King Solomon, the author of Ecclesiastes, had an annual income of more than $35 million. He lived in a palace that took 13 years to build. He owned 40,000 stalls of horses. The daily menu of his household included 100 sheep and 30 oxen.

Obviously, Solomon was
in a position to know whether money would bring true fulfillment. He concluded,
“Vanity of vanities … all is vanity!”
(Ecclesiastes 12:8). Nothing, even extraordinary success, can replace the value
of our relationship with the Lord. Ask yourself this question: Am I sacrificing
a close relationship with Christ in the pursuit of wealth?
“What does it profit a
man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?” – Mark 8:36
