How many of us build up for retirement? A member of my family is currently in that position to be able to retire this year. He has been very productive and I know he is looking forward to retirement. I know at some point we all would like to be in this situation where we work hard and at some point we want to sit back and enjoy life a little more and spend it with our families or however we would like to spend it.
But in all of this have we considered our soul? As we build up for this opportunity for ourselves have remembered God? In Luke 12:13-21 we have this situation. God was not remembered in all of this.
As we look at this passage we can come to an agreement that this farmer was being very productive. As he was trying to store that way he could eventually sit back eat drink and be merry. However in all of this hard work he forgot about God!
It is God who blesses us with all things. We have been blessed with the abilities to provide for our families and get to this point. He wasn't rich toward God! we should not allow outside distractions to hinder our service to God.
It is okay to be productive but we must always remember it is God who was given us this opportunity and blessing! It is a true blessing and we have all taken it for granted. However through the grace and mercy of God we have been blessed to still be called a child of God. Are we being productive towards God? Let us try and be a better Christian in the future than we have in the past!
