Jesus warns against greed and the folly of relying solely on earthly wealth, illustrated through the parable of the rich fool.

Trust in God’s Provision
Identify specific worries you have about your needs and commit them to God in prayer, trusting in His provision.

Live with Eternal Perspective

The Parable of the Rich Fool

13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?” 

15 And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16 Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance. 

17 So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 

18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods. 

19 Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!” ’

20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

hope you have a great day!
