Luke 12:16 (NIV) And he
told them this parable: ÒThe ground of a certain rich
man produced a good crop. 17 He thought to himself,
ÔWhat shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.Õ 18
Then he said, ÔThis 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. 19 And I'll say to myself, ÒYou have plenty
of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy;
eat, drink and be merry.ÓÕ 20 But God said to him, ÔYou
fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then
who will get what you have prepared for yourself?Õ 21
This is how it will be with anyone who stores up
things for himself but is not rich toward God.Ó
