16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 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?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself,and is not rich toward God.”
I think this parable gives a great perspective…
God did His part when He blessed our capacity for surely we have enough harvest to feed everyone who is in need on the face of this earth And still have plenty for himself
But man, in his covetousness, doesn’t want to share the blessing and be rich towards God by being generous towards man.
So the fault is on man’s side and not God’s.
Why did you go with that passage and not the more traditional Matt 6:25-34?
(Other than the fact that it pins the fault for starvation on God, I mean)
