I come to Matthew 6:19-21, one day after checking my 401K balance in the midst of the stock market losses of Fall 2008. It certainly highlights the impossibility of basing any real security on our financial holdings or other "earthly wealth".
The reality is that NOTHING I have is safe from the unpredictability of life on this broken planet. Real security can only come from trusting God.
I'm glad I have more than my sad excuse for a 43-year-old's 401K to trust in!

Matthew 6:19-21
