Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY REV. BILLY E. FLOYD Pastor, Worthville Baptist Church Luke 12: 16-21 One of the most interesting stories in the New Testament is the parable of the rich farmer. Interesting because this story depicts so many of us today. Certainly we cannot deny our longing for the finer things of life. Is it really wrong to feel this way? Is it wrong to want to get ahead? The rich farmer was self centered. This is the problem with so many people. He was interested in saving what he had. That is not wrong. God saves. When God created the earth, He put a lot of water on it and through all the centuries He has kept every drop of it. Not one grain of the earth’s sand has ever been lost. After Jesus fed the multitude He had the disciples gather up the fragments that none be wasted. Farm work is hard and to be successful one must put in long hard hours. The man was not excessively greedy. He did not try to buy up all of the land in the country. He just had enough for his needs. Then why did Jesus call him a fool? In Psalms 14 we read, “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God”. The rich farmer would have attested to his belief in God. The great problem was that this belief was only in his mind. When it came to his feelings, his heart, he had left God out. Why? Because he did not feel the need of God. There is a difference between believing in your mind and believing in your heart. I have had people talk to me about Divine healing and say they believed there is something to it. On the other hand I have been called to the hospital in the middle of the night to pray with a mother and father who were about to lose a small boy. Their belief is different because they feel the need so deeply. A person seeking help for their life must feel more than intellectual belief, it must be heart felt. The possession of wealth is not wrong. Jesus never said it was. But it is most dangerous. Jesus talked about money more than any other subject. The problem with the rich farmer was not that he cheated, robbed or lied, but that he was self centered. He had a My problem. “My fruits”, “My goods”, “My barns.” He showed no gratitude, only, pride. He reached the point that he felt no need of God. He was self sufficient. Jesus said such a person is a fool. He was blinded by his own success and sense of well being and could not look ahead to future needs. “But God said unto him, Thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose Second Annual SOUTHEASTERN TRACTOR PULL (SIO,OOO in Prizes) MACON COLISEUM FEB. 9-10.7 P.M.

God has given to each of us the kingship over our own lives. Let us not become so intoxicated with things that we leave God out. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
