Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
Man is a will-o-wisp, no matter what his status in in the world's eyes. Bribery and robbery and wealth is also a delusion.
Trust in the LORD at all times, in all things and in all circumstances. Repeat after me, John, until it soaks in.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 22
Mid-day: 119:121-128
