ARE YOU BUILDING BARNS OR YOU'RE BUILDING LIVES?
"...you fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?" - Luke 12:20

“A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person. Some might refer to a fool as a blockhead. Jesus Christ tells of someone who acted like a huge fool. “A certain rich man was very productive and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do since I have no place to store all that I have?’ He decided to tear down his barns and build larger ones and then store all his grain and goods. Then he said, ‘I have many goods laid up for years to come; now I’ll take it easy and eat, drink, and be merry!'”
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is required of you and now who will own all that you have?’ So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Question: When are you going to pause long enough from pursuing bigger barns and dreaming of how to fill them up, to start thinking about your soul? All that counts is “Do you know God?” and “What have you done for God and your fellow man?” Don’t be a blockhead. Affect a life with what you have, touch someone's life with your resources, don't wait to be cajoled or sweet tongued by a preacher, cultivate the habit of deliberately being a blessing to somebody else as regularly as possible.
Quit acting foolish and get things right with God through Jesus Christ. And do it today!
Pray with me; Lord activate your compassion within me afresh and teach me to be a blessing in Jesus name!
May your day be filled with peace and gladness in Jesus name!
