THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL
LUKE 12: 16-21
16. And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.
17. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18. “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.
19. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”?’
20.“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
THE MEANING OF THE PARABLE
LUKE 12: 22-29
22. Then Jesus said to his disciples:
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
23. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
25. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life ?
26. Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27.“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
28. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
29. And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.
LESSON:
Therefore, if you are serving God, set your heart on things above,
And forget about this worldly things,
Never lament for what to eat, where to live or fighting for this earthly heritance,
Trust in God irrespective of any condition you find yourself.
Because you can not add a cubit to your life.
