Worship into the Week- Rich Toward God

 

Worship into the Week-

Luke 12:13-21-The Parable of the Rich Fool

"Be on your guard against all covetouseness, 

for one's life does not consist

 in the abundance of his possessions."

Covet- a word we don't use or 

talk much about in these days.

-to wish for earnestly-

-to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately-

-to want to have something very much,

especially something that belongs to someone else-

 The story of the parable of the Rich Fool 

ends with wise words for all of us.

"Fool! This night your souls is required of you

 and the things you have prepared, 

whose will they be? 

So is the one who lays up treasure 

for himself and is not rich toward God."

Let us not be foolish and be wise.

The world says- relax, eat, drink and be merry.

Store up goods for many years.

The Lord says- See ME. Be Rich Toward ME.
