I may make the same tragic wreck of our
lives. The only way to avoid doing so is to go right where this man
went wrong. There is a sure road to spiritual enrichment. "Though he
were rich, yet for our sakes he became poor that we, through his
poverty, might be rich." This wealth is no fabled bag of gold at the
end of the rainbow. I can so direct you to this treasure that you will
be sure to find it. This is the road: "Yield yourselves unto God."
That is your first duty. That is your highest wisdom. Recognize God
as owner of yourself. Recognize God as the owner of all that you have.
Give all to Him and He will give all to you. "For He that spared not
His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not with him
also freely give us all things." To have that treasure is to be rich
forever more. To be thus rich is to be eternally wise.
