Isaiah 17:10-11
Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, Therefore you will plant pleasant plants And set out foreign seedlings; 11 In the day you will make your plant to grow, And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

... Isaiah 17:7. In that day a man will look to his Maker, And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
When we forget God, looking to prosper ourselves, the bountiful crop we cultivate often ends in ruin and sadness. But when we instead look to our Maker in the face of Jesus Christ, when we revere, fear, and honor Him - then we prosper in our souls towards eternity. Lay up treasures in heaven.
