Repeated thought for emphasis

Proverbs 23:5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.” If you were given a choice of getting a few million dollars or one Bible–you can’t have both and you can’t get the money and then buy a Bible–like some of you might be thinking—one OR the other.  With one you gain a little happiness for a few seconds, with the other you gain peace, comfort, security, hope and eternal life.  Is the choice very hard?  Why do so many make the wrong choice?
