In many ways people do not agree. Some people prefer this color, and the taste of this kind of fruit. Others prefer a different color for a coat or dress, and this food rather than that. For some, the more money they have the richer they think that they are. The best thing for us to have is the fear of God.
Earthly treasures can bring joy to our flesh.
But the fear of God assures us of everlasting blessedness in God's kingdom. Now, by fear of the Lord Solomon means faith, reverence, respect for God. We must lose all our guilt. Every sin must be blotted out, or we go to everlasting woe. In fact, the more earthly goods we have, the more we are tempted to forget God, to walk in sin, and to have no thought for salvation.
