HOW DOES GOD MEASURE LIFE?
Then he said, "Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own." Luke 12:15 NLT
EXPOSITION
We live in a day where corrupt, wicked and evil practices are widespread all in the name of accumulating wealth. Society today embrace the rich regardless of how they made their wealth. God is not against the rich, He is not against living a good life. He is against using questionable means to make it in life.
Living good or being rich at the expense of others doesn't please God. He doesn't measure our lives based on how much we have but how well we have used what we have to solve problems and to help others. Let's not live like the rich man whose land yielded an abundant harvest, stored the surplus grain and said to himself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:16-21 NIV
Store for yourself and be poor toward God, share and be rich toward Him. May the Lord bless his word and may he bless you as well.
