When we pile
up riches without a reason it is usually not just for the sake of having
riches, there is usually a reason for it. It may be poverty in our childhood or
youth; it may be fear and insecurity; it may be a false comfort for us. God
gives us all that we have and we should continually be thankful for it, be good
stewards of it and also enjoy it.
