Handling Your Possessions
Luke 12:13-22
Skip Heitzig
Luke 12 (NKJV™) | |
13 | Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." |
14 | But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?" |
15 | And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." |
16 | Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. |
17 | "And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?' |
18 | "So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. |
19 | 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."' |
20 | "But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' |
21 | "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." |
22 | Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. |
