Here are additional reasons urged for our firm reliance on the Lord, because all other trusts must deceive, and prove vain. And the Psalmist takes an instance, in proof, from the deceitfulness of riches. If men of the world would but keep in remembrance the solemn words of Christ, how contemptible would then appear that folly which is directed to the gaining of the world, with the loss of the soul? Oh! what a dreadful sentence must that be, when heard by the dying sinner; Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? Luke 12:20; Mark 8:36-37.
