Listen from:
Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Howard Hughes, one of the world’s richest men, spent his last years in total paranoia and misery. He was scared to death that someone would try to poison his food to kill him. He was petrified of getting germs and so becoming ill. He lived in fear all the time. How much better it is to love the Lord, enjoy Him and the prospect of heaven, and be content with whatever He has given us, no matter how small it may be. Don’t be like Howard Hughes.
