Luke 12:13-21 warns against greed and reveals the parable of the rich fool. Enter this reverent reflection on desire, true wealth, and the call to be rich toward God. A man asks Jesus to judge an inheritance. The Lord redirects the heart. Life does not consist in possessions. He tells of a rich man whose ground yields plenty. The man plans bigger barns and a future of ease. God calls him a fool, for his life is required that night. What he stored cannot save his soul. This teaching searches us. Where is our treasure. Where do our plans rest. Choose simplicity and honest work. Practice almsgiving and justice. Use resources as servants of love. Seek the Kingdom first. Be watchful and grateful. Keep prayer and Scripture near. Measure success by faith, mercy, and service. Bring this reading to your home and parish. Ask for a heart that is rich in God. May the Lord free us from grasping and lead us into generous trust. If this nourished your prayer, kindly like, share, and subscribe for more scripture meditations.
