Luke 12:20-21 "But God said to him, "Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
To be rich toward God is, among other things, to have a...
heart at peace with God,
soul renewed by the Spirit of God,
life devoted to serving God,
and a path that sines brighter every day, until the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18)
To be rich in any other way, without being rich toward God, is the truest form of poverty.
I know of a poor man who could have been wealthy if he had not chosen to run a poor orphanage in a poor land. I never met this man in person, but every day I interact with the children who grew up under his care. They often report that he often said, with great joy, "I'm rich, rich, rich! I just have a cash flow problem."
No matter what you have or don't have, be sure you pursue a life that demonstrates richness toward God.
