Lk.12:13-21 Devo

The Anti-Get Rich or Die Tryin' In v.15 Jesus says that a man's life does not consist of things. He tells a parable of a rich man building a new, bigger, better barn to store all his stuff. The man decides that he has enough possessions that he can coast the rest of life. He is going to take it easy, and just enjoy his stuff the rest of his days. Jesus calls such a man a "fool." He says that man is going to die tonight. This is how it will be for the man that stores up things for himself and is not rich toward God. According to Jesus, if we're not living (that includes all phases of life including our charity)toward God, then we're missing the point. The apostle Paul says,"And he (Jesus) died for all, so that those who live (the believer) should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." * Don't stop living for God. Our treasure should be toward His work. We are not long for this world!
