Luke 12:20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
God is the one who knows what is happening in our lives and He knows what is going to happen as well.
When we spend our time building up riches here on earth we are leaving behind the true riches He has laid up for us.
What profit is it to us to have the very best of everything if we are going to lose it all overnight?
How could we ever justify being rich if we know it will not get us to heaven?
