In <strong>Luke 12:18-20<\/strong> he says, <em>This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, \u2018Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.\u2019 But God said to him, \u2018You fool! This very night your soul is required of you\u2019<\/em> (NASB). The rich farmer\u2019s foolish mistake was that he planned to store his treasures here on earth instead of in heaven. C. S. Lewis understood this and said, \u201cAim at Heaven and you will get earth thrown in: aim at earth and you will get neither.\u201d Be careful where you aim.<strong><em> Think about it<\/em><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/luke-12-15\/\">Previous Stewardship Minute<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/luke-1824-25\/\">Next Stewardship Minute<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,68],"tags":[27,29],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4122,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions\/4122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stewardshiplibrary.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
