Psalm 49

Chapter Outline
vs. 1-4 - Introduction

vs. 6-20 - Answer

Worldly wealth is fleeting.
Proverbs 23:4-5 Riches fly away like eagles
I Samuel 2:7-8 The Lord makes the poor and the rich
Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord maketh rich, and He adds no sorrow to it

Problem: The oppressor (the wealthy wicked) causes us to fear

Wealth can not secure our eternity vs. 6
I Timothy 6:6-7 godliness with contentment is great gain
We cannot take our belongings with us after death
The love of money is the root of all evil.

Matthew 16:26 For what does it profit if a man gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?

Isaiah 51:6 My salvation will last forever, everything on earth will go away.
