A Person Is A Fool
To Store Up Earthly Wealth
But Not Have A Rich Relationship With God.
How foolish are you?
Scripture
16 Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops.
17 He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’
18 Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. 19 And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’
21 “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”
Observation
What
a knucklehead! What a fool! Life is not measured by how much
you own.
Maybe you are catching yourself today worrying about all
that you don’t have?
Maybe you are worrying about lots of other things today.
Read Luke 12:6-22 Jesus tells us, “Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—“
Application
This
week I will concentrate my attention on my relationship with God and when I
catch myself worrying I will give those concerns to Him.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to put into practice Philippians 4:6-7 this week.
Don't worry
about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and
thank him for all he has done. [7] If you do this, you will experience God's
peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His
peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
“ Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.“
