“YES, A PERSON IS A FOOL TO STORE EARTHLY WEALTH BUT NOT TO HAVE A RICH RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.” LUKE 12:21
In my life I know that I always had a goal of building up enough valuable possessions or money that I could provide well for my family. Sometimes I even found myself focusing totally on how rich I could be. I would look at others and see how much they had stored up and would even become envious. My whole goal in life was to become rich. I am sure that many of you have found yourself in the same boat at one time or another. But when Christ came into my life my goals slowly changed. My relationship with Him provided me with a different outlook on life. My focus was no longer on myself and my job. It soon was focused on Him and what his intentions were for me. We are all put upon this earth for a purpose. That purpose is NOT to become the richest person in the world. That purpose will be to serve our God in a way that pleases Him. Our focus should not be on our riches, our worldly goals, or how important we make ourselves look. Our Lord could call any of us home in any moment and our worldly riches become dust to us. He has the riches we should be after. He controls our destiny. He has the control to give us eternal life or throw us into hell itself. Our focus and our goals should be on Him and Him alone. He is our God and has given us life in order that we serve Him. In this day and age, it is important that we have great faith and that we trust our God in heaven and not the things around us. JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
