Lets read about a man in the Bible

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


Q. Do you think this person was successful?
Had a great Job, had lot of money.

Q. Do you think he got what he was looking for? Why?

Q. What are few things people run after? What about us?

Now we might not say it but practically on an average the amount of time and heart we give to things shows what we value the most.
