Wealthy Or Healthy?

why is it that most people are always seeking wealth? they will push themselves to the limit and disregard their health money can't buy true happiness, it's more of a burden than a prize yet many people are obsessed with it, but at what price? how many houses can you live in ? how many cars can you drive? how many gold chains can you wear around your neck? will your wealth keep you alive? how many credit cards and bank accounts do you really need? as humans we are great consumers and we have a condition known as greed it's funny how there are some people who don't have a lot of bucks yet they live lives of happiness, is it their destiny or is it luck? it's funny how those people who can barely get by learn to live on less and contently survive yes, we'd all like to be rich and not have to look at the price whenever we want to buy something, but what are you willing to sacrifice? when it comes down to the truth, you have to decide what is your measure is it health or is it wealth? what do you treasure? in sickness and in health in poverty and in wealth you can have all the money in this world and still have a fatal disease you can live in a trailer park and with your few possessions and be pleased you can have that great big house in the best part of town but if you're laid out on your back, where is the good in it to be found? money and wealth are just some of Satan's tools to take people away from God and make them act like fools many will lie, some will steal and others will kill for wealth but what good is all the money in the world if you ain't got your health?
