Wealth Nor Degrees Don't Impress Yah

"Wealth Nor Degrees Don't Impress Yah."

What does it profit those to gain the whole world
and lose their lives as many rich are doing today.
Many have made millions and lived lives many
only dream about but death takes it all away.
Billions, millions, degrees, mansions, cars, status, won't
get you into the Kingdom you can't buy your way in.
In fact having those things and the way many
have got them may have caused them to sin.
Many seemed to be impressed by the rich and
idolize entertainers but this mindset isn't right.
Yah warns us about respecting those of wealth
and influence we must use spiritual insight.
When the rich have to stand before Yah all
that they had will mean nothing at all.
All that they've done will mean nothing
when before Him to their knees they'll fall.
I've never seen an armored car go to the
grave and put their million into the ground.
When they wake up on the day of Judgment
their bank statement or their things won't be around.
It amazes me how people are excited over things
that the rich have like they envy them.
Remember they are just pied pipers who were
made rich by satan they are owned by him.
Not only do they not know Yah their lifestyles
epitomizes who they bow down themselves to.
They're all about fame and fortune yet many
are so miserable many have died lonely too.
Hollywood and the music industry has many
sad stories being famous comes with a cost.
It's easier for a Camel to go through the eye
of a needle in short the rich will be lost.
Many died broke and many loaded with dough
and they gave of their riches but so.
Your righteous is as filthy rags when it's not
Yah the Most High of Yisrael you do not know.
Yah is not going to be impressed by their fame and
fortune nor their degrees but for Him what did they do.
Just like He'll tell the Pulpit Pimps away from me you
who work lawlessness I never knew you.
