Verse: Luke 12:15

Remember, see the devotional introduction for instruction on how to follow this devotional for the Be the Church series.

Reflect

• Jesus cautions us to watch out lest we allow possessions to stand in the way of a truly abundant life. In your life, what specific forms of greed do you need to be on your guard against?
• In the Old Testament the grain the harvesters missed was intentionally left for those in need (see Deuteronomy 24:19-22). What resources do you have that you can share with others, rather than simply store up for yourself?

For further study: Job 20:20, 1 Timothy 6:17-19.

Spend Time in Prayer

• What is God showing you personally through your devotion time today? Ask God to guide you in applying what you have learned?
• Pray for the spiritual growth of another person whom God may be challenging to put his or her faith in action.
• Pray for someone you know is in need.
