16 Then he told them a parable: “A rich man’s land was very productive. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops? 18 I will do this,’ he said. ‘I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones and store all my grain and my goods there. 19 Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21 “That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Luke 12
How much money is “enough”? There’s not enough money in the world to keep you from dying, no amount is “enough.” Money doesn’t make you happy, no amount is “enough.” Rather, we are better off learning to be content with what we have. Don’t waste your time accumulating wealth for yourself. Working hard and earning your way is a good thing, but overworking yourself, to the neglect of your family and church, isn’t going to help you on your last day. Work hard, play hard, live well, be generous, and trust the Lord for your provision.
