12:13. Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
12:14. But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
12:15. 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.”
12:16. Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
12:17. “And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’
12:18. “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.
12:19. ‘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.” ‘
12:20. “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?’
12:21. “So [is] he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Similarly, today, men find it difficult to sit under the tutelage of God’s word during personal and family devotions, programmes, conferences, etc. Many are more concerned with greed or covetousness for more earthly possessions. This leads to cravings for material things, fleshly indulgence and even snatching what belongs to others. However, a man’s real happiness and comfort does not depend upon what he has(v.15). James warned that the reason for much hostility, murder and other vices in the society is greed (James 4:1-2). So, guard your heart and reorder your priorities to tally with eternal issues.
