“Treasures”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

Luke 12:16-21

pastedGraphic
Where are your treasures being stored?
What are your treasures?

Jesus tell a parable.
A rich man’s land was very productive.
The man decided to tear down old barns and build new larger ones.
He then determined in his heart...said to his soul...that he would…
  • take ease
  • eat
  • drink
  • be merry
...because he has provision laid up for many years.

He had “arrived”.
He had no provisional, earthly concerns.

Yet, did you note what the Lord called him.

A fool.

Why?

Because he had stored up treasures for himself.
Apparently he did not share to meet needs.

He was not rich toward God.

God required his soul that night - he died.

What do you consider to be treasure?
Where are you storing treasure?
