The Parable of the Rich Fool

Luke 12:16-21
16
And he gave them this illustration: “There was a man whose land was very productive.
17
He debated with himself, ‘What should I do? I haven’t enough room for all my crops.’
18
Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and I’ll store all my wheat and other goods there.
19
Then I’ll say to myself, “You’re a lucky man! You have a big supply of goods laid up that will last many years. Start taking it easy! Eat! Drink! Enjoy yourself!”’
20
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will die! And the things you prepared — whose will they be?’
21
That’s how it is with anyone who stores up wealth for himself without being rich toward God.”
