It is extremely rare to meet a person who has no desire for more financial wealth. The default heart posture for nearly all humans is that we would prefer to have more money tomorrow than we have today. The entire American Dream is rooted in the unexamined presumption that more wealth = more happiness. So, most people live with a goal to have more mon ey, accumulate more material goods, and enjoy more leisure. Jesus once taught about such a man. Sadly, the Savior ended up describing this kind of person as a fool. Why? Not because money is wicked. The reason Jesus calls this type a person a fool is because he chased after money, lived for money, and structured his life around money. When it came time for the man to die, his entire life was viewed as a tragic waste. This message empowers us not to follow that same pathway, and to plan for ourselves an exit strategy that makes us rich for eternity.
