In this life we are tempted at every turn to keep our eyes fixed on that which is vain and temporal. We live in a world that is obsessed with money, possessions, and self glory. If we are sucked into this rat race, we risk forsaking our true calling and purpose on the earth. This Psalm calls us to take an eternal persective on money and possessions and to seek the treasure which lasts forever. With eternity in view, we will be delivered from earthly fear and we can look forward to a rich welcome into the eternal Kingdom.
