How Will God Find Us?

Luke 12:20  

"But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night 

thy soul shall be required of thee: then

 whose shall those things be, which

thou hast provided?" 

   There is an old saying; "The more a man drinks the thirstier he becomes." And so long as a mans attitude is like that his desire will always be to get more, and that is not the Christian way. Now 

Jesus refused to be mixed up in anyones disputes about money. "And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me," (Luke 12:13).  But out of that request there came to Jesus an opportunity to lay down what His followers attitude to material things should be. He had something to say, both to those who had an abundant supply of material possessions and to those who did not have an abundant supply.  

   Here was a self centered person, " When this man had more than he needed of goods the one thing that never entered his head was to give any away and help others." His whole attitude was the very reverse of Christianity. Instead of denying himself he aggressively affirmed himself; instead of finding his happiness in giving, he wanted to tear down his barns and build bigger ones.

   My Friends, No man can tell the day or the hour when eternity will invade time and our summons will come. How, then, would we like God to find us? We would like him to find us with our work completed. Life for so many of us is filled with loose ends. There are things undone and things half done; things put off and things not even attempted. However Good men and women have always had the sense of a task that is started must be finished.

Amen!
