Reflection Psalm 49 - “Confidence in God rather than in Riches”
Who would not be envious of Bill Gates for creating Microsoft and being one of the richest persons on earth, of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein of their discoveries and contributions to the world of science, of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for having gorgeous bodies and being among the highest paid actors and actresses in Hollywood? And you a low profile personality, thinking of how to survive in your daily life and how to beg your professors for you not to repeat your grade level again.

All are equal in the eyes of God, for even the rich will taste the bitterness of death. Sweetness will only come to those who have lived for God and by his words. God truly blesses these people with eternal life. The sense of fairness and balance came upon this world so that no man can boast of his own greatness. It teaches us that the missing hole in our life can only be filled when we put our faith in God.

Our greatness cannot keep us from death; we will still die like animals. We must all remember that no matter how wealthy we are or how great we are, we cannot pay God for eternal life, we will all die someday and all of these things that we have on earth will never be brought to heaven. The rich cannot bring their mansions; the poor cannot bring their “barong- barong”, the wise cannot bring their medals and the stupid cannot bring their failures. The only thing that can give us eternal life is how we have lived and fulfilled our duties.
