Be Ye Warned

God cautions that the secret motives of mans heart will eventually asertain the durability of his name. If a person's secret mania is motivated by lust, greed and pride, then that person's thoughts and actions will ultimately be predisposed by them.
"I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
Jeremiah 17:10
On the other hand, if the secret motives of a person are to please the LORD and promote His Kingdom, then that person's name and reputation will be preserved even though he falters and falls sometimes.
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Proverbs 24:16
If a man has a secret desire to be rich, he will be attracted to intrigue and people that will ruin his life and demolish his name.
For this reason, God cautions those who have a secret desire to be rich will: "... fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition."
If a person's secret motives are to set his inclination on things above rather than on worldly things, he is able to undergo loss of temporaoy worldly things and will gather insight and spiritual gain.
