Then For What?

Proverbs 23:4 instructs us to not labor with the intent to be rich "Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom." My question is: If we are not supposed to be working for the purpose of getting rich, then what should be our purpose?

The riches will fly away as an eagle, but the treasure in heaven will last for ever. So, I guess the quick answer (quick post today) is that we are to labor for treasure in Heaven. Our labor is not in vain in the Lord, though it may be when done for riches. We are to labor to give to him that hath need...

Ok, got work to do!

Just a quick thought...
