You are not going to be taking it with you when
you die. You will leave it all behind for the family
to squabble over and then squander.
If your love is for the things of this world, you
will loose it all and the things that could come
for you after death.
God through the Apostle Pauls said;
"For we have brought nothing into the world,
so we cannot take anything out of it either"
(1 Timothy 6:7 NASB)
We need to set our love on God and the things
of God. When our love rests on Him and our
efforts are spent for Him, then our true reward
comes after death and is eternal.
Even old Socrates had some insight into chasing
after the things of the world when he said;
“He who is not contented with what he has,
would not be contented with what he would
like to have.”

But even more importantly the very creator
of life and the universe, Jesus Christ warns
us;
"For what does it profit a man to gain the
whole world, and forfeit his soul?
For what will a man give in exchange for
his soul?
(Mark 8:36,37 NASB)
"...for where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also."
(Matthew 6:21 NASB)
"...for where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also."
(Matthew 6:21 NASB)
