Billly J. Manuel's comment on 2014-01-06 17:42:17:

This regulation which reminds us not to set our hearts upon increased riches is reminiscent of the similar verse in Proverbs 23:5,". . . FOR RICHES CERTAINLY MAKE THEMSELVES WINGS; THEY FLY AWAY AS AN EAGLE TOWARD HEAVEN." The more our trust is in Christ the less the tendency to rely upon the temporal things of this world, and especially should those things come by robbery,violence against or oppression of others. Then we bring upon ourselves bitter sorrow after the ill-gotten gain is gone.
