In the face of abundance, the
rich man in Luke
12:13-21 tore down his barns and built bigger ones. The man's foolishness
was not his greed, his wealth, or even his planning for the future. It was his
lack of relationship. Riches lured him to the illusion that he needed no one.
Material blessings spoil in the
absence of community and genuine community requires sharing. It involves giving
and receiving; loaning and borrowing; blessing others and allowing others to
bless us. Look for an opportunity this week to bless someone from your
abundance. But also look for an opportunity to put yourself in the vulnerable
position of having a need that someone else could meet. There's nothing foolish
about that kind of living!
