Luke 12:20 - two words stand out to me in that verse.
Fool - Its like a horse wearing blinders so that it is not distracted by anything so it can stay on task. Jesus is calling this man a fool because its as if he is wearing blinders to the needs around him so that he can get richer. I hope that you and I aren't so on task that we fail to see people around us, especially those in need. This man was walking by hurting families, hurting people, just so his little world could get bigger and better. Jesus called him a fool!
Demanded - Your life will be demanded of you. It is a term used in the banking world. I borrow money they are demanding that I pay them back. Here God is saying I gave you life and I blessed your life to be a blessing, have you have wasted your gifts, thus I want the life I gave you back. Wow. May we live our lives in such a way that God says to each one of us, "well done, my good and faithful servant, enter into the rest I have prepared for you!" Bless someone today!
