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?

Matthew 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

If you read some of the commentaries about this verse they will probably depress you!

I am not here to throw a wet rag over everything and tell you about the dire consequences of following your own paths of desire instead of following God – there should be enough people doing that to you already!

I am here to remind you of the greater goal in life – to follow Christ and live a life worth living. You can be different and still make a difference!

Just don’t ignore God…

Proverbs 19:1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Being honest in your own heart and with your own heart is what we should all strive for.

Christ showed us that integrity means a lot and true integrity has to start within yourself in front of God.

If we start out by telling lies then we will find it much harder to convince people of the truth when we try to tell them the truth.

We cannot put great trust in the riches of this world because so much of it seems to be built on lies nowadays.
