Real, Durable Riches & Wealth!!

Without question, and pursuant to the Word of GOD found in 1 Kings chapter 3: 5-14, when directed of the LORD GOD to "Ask what I shall give thee", king Solomon responded, by the mercy of GOD, "Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad:…And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing." king Solomon neither for "long life", nor for "riches" for himself, nor for "the life" of his enemies, The LORD granted his request, that is, "a wise and an understanding heart", so that "there was none like" him before nor after him till this day. (2 Chronicles 9:22).  The LORD also graciously granted him that which he hadn't asked…"riches, and honor", "so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days."
king Solomon, "the Preacher", (undoubtedly while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit), declares: "[b]I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts. So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.[/b]" (Ecclesiastes 2:4-11)

Riches/ wealth are certainly not bad of themselves, but/and it is definitely a huge mistake/error to place emphasis on them (riches/wealth/and all that which perishes), and dwell on them, even and especially in practice and in prayer… Heaven and earth shall pass away, but The LORD's words shall never pass… Matt 24:35. Amen! Although, we are are commanded/instructed by The Word definitely not to sit back & wait to be fed or be lazy/"sluggards" ("consider the ant"… Proverbs 6:6-11)

The Word of GOD commands, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Conversation means conduct. Hebrews 13:5; (Luke 3:14, Philippians 4:11)

The WORD / The Lord Jesus Christ Himself says [b]"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [/b]Matthew 6:25-33… In part, "a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:27-36, Matthew 6:19-21. (John 6:27).
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36
"And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!" Mark 10:20-24 

(Several other references to worldly riches / wealth - "And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful." Mark 4:19 (Psalm 37:16, Psalm 39:6, Proverbs 11: 4 & 28, Proverbs 13:7, Psalm 49:6-11, Psalm 52:7, Psalm 62:10, Ecclesiastes 5:10-14, Matthew 13:22, James 5:1-3)
(Several other references  to Heavenly riches in Christ Jesus, The Lord - Psalm 119:12-16, Romans 11:33, Hebrews 11:23-29 - (Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 8:14-19 - The Lord Jesus Christ, "The Wisdom" of GOD - 1 Corinthians 1:24, Ephesians 3:9, John 1:1-3 & 10, Genesis 1)

"[b]Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?… Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it… The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate…Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures….Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life [eternal life], and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.[/b]" Proverbs 8 - (Proverbs 8: 1, 4-5, 7-11, 13, 18-21, 32-36)
"Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 9:23-24

So king Solomon, (again, and emphatically… under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of Truth & Grace) declares… "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
