King Solomon still ranks as one of the wealthiest and wise men in history. However, his wisdom and wealth could not push off his death. Money may buy comfort and influence in life, but it cannot stop the grave. Money seems helpful, but it fails in death. Conversely, what often seems of little help in this life will be our only source of help in death. “Of what practical good are such things?” Only this. Such things enable us, at death, to receive a reward that dwarfs even the best things money can buy.
