Luke 12:19-20
And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."' But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'”

Today's verses are taken from the parable that Jesus told to illustrate the foolishness of storing up treasures here on earth. That is something that mankind does to alleviate the fear of not having what may be needed in the future. And of course, the Lord's purpose is to remind us that our God will supply all of our needs—exactly when they are needed! {Php.4:19}

One ‘little’ codicil: God may give the very thing that you need to a brother or sister who actually has no need of it—but He has not made a mistake! God is as always at work both to will and to work for His good pleasure. {Php.2:13} Since that person that the Lord gave the ‘thing’ to did not need it he or she now has an abundance. So their abundance becomes a supply for your need {2Cor.8:15} and both get blessed. The ‘giver’ being even more blessed than the ‘getter’ since the scripture clearly states that Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive! {Acts 20:35}
 
The apostle Paul deals with all of this very succinctly writing to Timothy when he says, "For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.” That is followed by his powerful statement that the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” {1Tim.6:7-8,10}

As it says in the Book of Psalms: “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” {Ps.37:4} That will surely lead to this proclamation “Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.” {Ps.73:25} He becomes the desire of your heart. That is true contentment!

One of the great wiles, the schemes of the devil used to draw men away from the faith and into ruin and destruction, is the deceitfulness of riches. {Mrk.4:19} That father of lies went so far as to try and use that even against Jesus Himself during the temptations in the wilderness: “Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; and he said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if You fall down and worship me."” {Mat.4:8-9}
 
Satan thought he could sway the Lord, the Rock of our salvation, by getting Him focused on ‘stuff’, material things. And obviously in spite of his failure there he still obviously thinks that tactic might work against us today because he uses it all the time and he has a lot of co-conspirators!
 
Advertising on the Internet, television and radio showing you the 'glory of the world' or trying to sow the seeds of greed or fear of lack. Lies, lies, lies—damnable lies as our dear departed brother Arthur Burt used to call them. David, truly a man after God's own heart, surely knew the truth when he wrote for all time:

"O fear the Lord (YHWH), you His saints; For to those who fear Him, there is no want. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.”   (Psalms 34:9-10)
 
THE WORD OF GOD IS TESTED AND TRUE!
