49:1-4 The Psalmist called for our attention as he spoke of what he learned from meditation on faith in God.
49:5-9 It would be fruitless to live a life with trust in money or man. It is only the Lord who can save, truly save and establish.
49:10-12 It is senseless to believe in one's own wisdom above God's wisdom. So many people throughout history and in present time live as though this life is it. God has invited His children into an eternal covenant, what we sow everyday establishes that future.
49:13-15 The righteous have dominion over the world because they rely on the strength and wisdom of God. The arrogant and faithless are spiritual dead. They require awakening in order to find purpose and understanding.
49:16-20 We should not be jealous or worried about wealth; wealth is not our source of eternal life. Our true wealth is our faith, for our relationship with God purchases life, love and blessing. The things of this world all end but God's children live forever, loved forever.
