session teaches an important lesson about the limits of what money can do for
us and where we focus our priorities. One day we maybe had reached the limit of
what our savings could do. But we couldn¡¦t buy health, youth, or clear mind no
matter how much money we had in our investment account.

in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the
inheritance with me." Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge
or an arbiter between you?" Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on
your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the
abundance of his possessions." And he told them this parable: "The
ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, 'What
shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is
what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will
store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty
of good things 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 anyone
who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward
God."

like this were often brought to rabbis for them to settle. Jesus¡¦ response,
though not directly to the topic, is not a change of subject. Rather, Jesus is
pointing to a higher issue ¡V a correct attitude toward the accumulation of
wealth. Life is more than material goods; far more important is our
relationship with God. Jesus put his finger on this questioner¡¦s heart. When
we bring problems to God in prayer, he often does the same ¡V showing us now we
need to change and grow in our attitude toward the problem. This answer is
often not the one we were looking for, but it is more effective in helping us
trace God¡¦s hand in our lives.

in Jesus¡¦ story died before he could begin to use what was stored in his big barns.
Planning for retirement ¡V preparing for life before death ¡V is wise but
neglecting life after death is disastrous. If you accumulate wealth only to
enrich yourself, with no concern for helping others, you will enter eternity
empty-handed.

Then Jesus
said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more
than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow
or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more
valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to
his life? Since you cannot do this very
little thing, why do you worry about the rest? "Consider how the lilies
grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of
the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much
more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on
what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs
after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as
well. "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to
give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide
purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will
not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

it? Only faith can free us from the anxiety caused by greed and covetousness.
It is good to work and plan responsibly; it is bad to dwell on all the ways our
planning could go wrong. Worry is pointless because it can¡¦t fill any of our
needs; worry is foolish because the Creator of the universe loves us and knows
what we need. He promises to meet all our real needs, but not necessarily all
our desires.

accomplish everlasting kingdom goals.
