Pomp Without Understanding, Psalm 49, OT S1:E346

It often appears on this side of eternity that the rich, the powerful and the mighty are successful, but we learn in this psalm that if their hope is in themselves, they will end up no better than any beast of burden. The faithful on the other hand, placing their trust in the Lord, and walking in His way, have the assurance that even when it appears that we are losing, that in the end, we will be victorious in our Savior.
