There is always a penalty for misplaced priorities (Luke12:6-21)! That Scripture reference is about a foolish man who passed away with no opportunity to enjoy his goods, and even worse, he died with a bankrupt soul (missed out on Heaven)!
We as believers must make service for GOD our main concern. Serving the LORD and His Kingdom is the key to setting correct goals. Life is not something that simply happens to people. Where you are today is largely determined by the way you prioritized your concerns in previous months and years.
This means we can positively impact our future by organizing our priorities according to biblical guidelines!
Matt. 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Let’s not be like the rich, foolish man in YESHUA’S parable in Luke 12, who only provided for himself and not for others. He also provided for his body (flesh) and not for his spirit! While making provision for his present life here on earth, he gave no thought to his life to come (eternity).
