CH 9 - Fear of the Coming Winter

Jesus told a parable of a rich man who had so many crops, he decided to build bigger barns to store them (Luke 12:16-21). As the story continues, the Lord calls all his planning foolish as he was taken from this life and wouldn't enjoy all he stored up for himself.

Max relates that the problem wasn't in the prudent planning and taking care of that which the Lord has given us in riches or talents, but thtat the man continually stated how he would do things and and how he would plan things and how he would care for all he had.  He had not looked to God for taking care of his needs.

Today, who is protecting and providing for you and your family?
    -  You or God?
    -  Your job or God?
    -  Your savings plan or God?
    -  Your retirement fund or God?
    -  Your talents and abilities or God?
    -  Your good eating habits & exercise or God?

God is the great giver and the great provider.   He is the fount of every blessing.

Today, let's not "trust in uncertain riches,

but in the Living God"

1 Tim 6:17
