A
Person Is A Fool
To
Store Up Earthly Wealth
But
Not Have a Rich Relationship With God
Scripture
Luke
12
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?’
Observation
“Then,
turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life” –
What
you and I need to focus on today is having a rich relationship with
God.
Reading
and meditating on what Jesus says in Luke 12 is a very good place to
start!
It
is one of my favorite passages in the Bible!
Why
not slow down today and take a few minutes to think about what God is
telling us about our “everyday life”.
Luke
12
4
“Dear
friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they
cannot do any more to you after that.
5
But
I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you
and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear.
6 “What is the
price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a
single one of them.
7
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock
of sparrows.
Application
I
will put my relationship with God and His Kingdom above everything
else today. How about you?
Luke
12
31
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will
give you everything you need.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to put You first today. Show me what is Kingdom
business and what is not. Don't let me get bogged down by things that
don't really matter, things that are not really important to You. I
know that You know me down to the number of hairs that I still have
on my head and I know that I am valuable to You. And I know that if I
will put Your Kingdom first in my life that You will take care of me
and provide everything that I need. You are an Awesome God.
