Chapter 49: The Glory of the Rich Man will eventually
die
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for
the sons of Korah.
“Hear this, all ye people; give ear…
My mouth shall speak of wisdom… my heart shall be of understanding.” (Psalms
49:1-3)
The author then goes on
to tell us of an important message; “They that trust in their wealth, and boast
of themselves in the multitude of riches; None of them can by any means redeem
his brother, nor give to God a ransom…” (Psalms 49:6-7)
I think this is very
important! Sometimes when people of understanding speak, we ignore them. Men
cannot be redeemed by wealth, or ransom God with that wealth. All of the glory
of the rich man, the famous man, etc… dies with him. The only thing we take
into the next life is our knowledge, experience and wisdom.
Chapter 50: Asaph Speaks of the Second Coming!
A Psalm of Asaph.
Asaph
speaks of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and tells us that the Lord has
spoken and in the end He will gather His saints!
“And
the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself” (Psalms
50:6) God will judge us for our actions while we are here on this
earth.
