Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity...The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep." vv.10,12
Read chapter 5
Once you get something you always want more. The more money the more you have to spend. The more your acquire the more you use the more you need to add on to be useful. As silver does not satisfy it feeds the insatiable desires, but like a tape worm it's never full, never satisfied. It's constantly wanting more, just going in circles and circles, a chasing after the wind.
What is the sweetest sleep to you like? My bed's never seemed so comfy than after a long hard day at work or a trip away from home. The best rest is in the Lord, when I can truly say and feel "my soul finds rest in God alone." What's your sleep like? Are you anxious even in your sleep toiling over work and finances? Everyone needs money in our world today, but how much does one want? Do you want so much that all you do is thing how you can get more? When or how much is enough money for you? Do you think that then that'll make you happy?
