Do you remember the story of the rich man who “yielded plentifully” and made plans to build bigger barns to store his goods (see Luke 12:15-21)? I wonder what kind of barns we have, and I wonder how big our barns are and if we have ever needed to build bigger ones.
Do you have a “barn” that houses your faith? How big is that barn? Have you ever needed to pull down your “faith barn,” in order to build a bigger barn, or are you still using the same barn?
Do you have a “barn” that houses your love for God and love for your brethren? How big is that barn? Have you ever needed to pull down your “love barn,” in order to build a bigger barn, or are you still using the same barn you’ve always had?
Do you have a “barn” that houses your thanksgiving? How big is it? Have you ever needed to pull down your “thanksgiving barn” to build a bigger one, or are you still using the same one?
Are you growing as a Christian? Or have you been “about the same size” for a while?
