Where will you leave your riches? Isaiah 10:3d
“Surely we are not sent into this world to heap up great estates for our children: and if you have been too eager in this design, you may not read God’s just rebuke of your folly. Bless God you have yet an opportunity to serve him eminently by your own charity, and God deny you other executors, let your own hands be your executors, to distribute to the necessity of the saints, that the blessings of them that are ready to perish may come upon you.”
