What to do with all this stuff? Jesus says, "Life is not defined by what you have, even if you have a lot." (The Message)
But didn't that rich man in Luke 12:4-21 have the American dream? He could say, "Self, you've done well! You've got it made and can now retire. Take it easy and have the time of your life!" (The Message)
The problem is that is just a dream and every single person has to finally wake up to the truth. Then reality or God shows up and says, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?"
In the long run (eternity) the rich man was surely foolish: "This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." Treasure stored up for God's honor is priceless in the long run. I want a bunch of that!
