Get rich??

Proverbs 23:4 “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.” Earthly wealth can disappear in the blink of an eye.  Why would one strive for something that lasts for a very short time period, that far from guarantees happiness and is often the ruin of a person?  Yet, many strive for earthly treasures while forfeiting eternal life.  Nothing could be more foolish.
