“So is he that layeth up treasures for himself and is not rich toward God†(Luke 12:21).
Our verse for today is the last verse in the parable of the rich fool. In previous devotions we learned about “laying up treasures in Heaven.†It is obvious the rich fool wasn’t interested in doing so. I don’t think anyone would want God to call them a “fool.†However, if we aren’t making eternal investments for eternity, we are not only a fool, but we are “not rich toward God.†We should strive to please Him by contributing of our time, talents, and finances to help others and promote the gospel. He doesn’t demand we give everything we have away. By being a good steward of what He gives to us, we become rich toward Him. Trusting Jesus not only gives us blessings in this life but we have so much in store waiting for us beyond it.
