Evening: Psalm 34; Luke 12:13-21
For a society that has its roots planted deeply in the story of Jesus, it is astounding that the ‘West’, especially North America, ignores Jesus’s saying: “Life does not consist in the abundance of one’s possessions.” Really!? Why do we not see this? Why do we keep building our lives on things? Like the man who built larger barns to store more grain, we keep amassing treasures that we cannot use, not in this life or the next. Yet spiritually, we are impoverished. Will this pandemic finally teach us to give up this illusion and pay attention to Jesus?
