| Then he told
them a parable, 'There was once a rich man who, having had a
good harvest from his land, thought to himself, "What am I
to do? I have not enough room to store my crops." Then he
said, "This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and
build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in
them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of
good things laid by for many years to come; take things
easy, eat, drink, have a good time." But God said to him,
"Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your
soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?" So it
is when someone stores up treasure for himself instead of
becoming rich in the sight of God.' - Luke 12: 16-21 |
