Luke 12:13-48.  The rich fool thought he was getting ready for the future, but he was merely laying up treasure for someone else to enjoy (13-21). The nations of the world think they are preparing for the future by worrying about eating, drinking, and things to wear, but their treasure is in the wrong place (22-34). We, the servants of the Master, are the stewards of his house. we should be providing for his household. That is how we prepare for the future.

LORD, give us wisdom to seek your kingdom and provide for your household and so be ready for you when you come.
