20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
I took a theme from this chapter of being ready for Jesus to return. Don't focus on the future, don't save up for yourself but pour out for God, don't worry it won't add a day to your life----that one is huge for me.
Jesus could be here any moment. Would I be happy with myself if he came back today? More importantly would he be pleased with me?

I think you hit it on the head.
ReplyDelete4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Along the same lines, this verse tells me to not fear anything on this earth, just because the consequences of what it can do to me are limited. God is eternal.
