And He (Jesus) told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’  And he said, “I will do this; I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods.  And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”  Luke 12:16 – 19

Lord we certainly all want to relax and enjoy life.  I can certainly look at  this and say – wow – this guy is really fortunate.  Look all he has been given.  He is one lucky guy.

And yet Lord we all have thought about security and all it has to offer to give us comfort in this life.  We also have all seen how quickly the things in life are gone in an instance.

Thank You Lord for this parable.

Thank You for showing us what is truly important in our lives.

Thank You that You prove to us over and over that wealth is not the most important gift we could have in our lives.

Thank You for giving us what we need.

Thank You for reminding us that because we have You we have our needs met for they are not material things.

Thank You for being our all.

Thank You Lord.
