Luke 12:15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Jesus introduces the parable of the rich fool with these words. Very appropriate for us who live in such a consumer driven culture. A culture in which personal success and worth is most often determined by the size of one's house and the amount of one's pay check. But Jesus makes it quite clear in this passage how much a person has accumulated in worldly goods (or has not accumulated), does not determine the value or significance of his life. What really matters is whether or not one is "rich toward God."
So how about you? Are you rich toward God? Seeking him and his righteousness above all else? Investing your time and money in those activities that will advance His kingdom?
