Psalm 52, Trusting in riches

Psa 52:2-4, Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

I know people who delight in gossip, and do not care if it causes pain! They love spreading rumors and lies and they believe no one hears!

Pro 12:22, LYING LIPS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. 

Psa 59:7, Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; FOR THEY SAY, “WHO HEARS?” 

Mat 12:36, But I (JESUS) say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 

Psa 52:7, “HERE IS THE MAN WHO DID NOT MAKE GOD HIS STRENGTH, BUT TRUSTED IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS RICHES, AND STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN HIS WICKEDNESS.” 

Money is a useful tool, but never make that your hope! Riches come and go, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil!

Mar 10:24-25, … But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

Psa 52:8, BUT I AM LIKE A GREEN OLIVE TREE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD; I TRUST IN THE MERCY OF GOD FOREVER AND EVER.

David placed his hope in the living GOD! He is like a tree planted near rivers of living water; whose leaf shall not wither, but strengthen!

Psa 92:13-14, Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,

This world offers nothing in comparison to the LORD! This world treasures gold, but gold to the LORD is the asphalt of HIS city! Don’t trust in riches, trust in the LORD!
