注释
（说“运气”，我没有把神排除在外，因为经上说：“签放在怀里，定事由耶和华。”【箴言 16:33】神决定每一个随机事件的结果。）这个财主没有把他自己看成是神的仆人，也没有把他所拥有的资源看做是神委托给他的责任。反之，他把自己看做是被事奉的对像，把他所拥有的资源看做是自己的玩具。这是一种贪婪的态度，这在富人中是很常见的。他们的目标往往是尽早退休，然后享清福，或做满足他们欲望的事。然而如果我们拥有的越多，我们的责任就越大。在神面前富足不是指在物质上贫乏，而是指用神委托给我们的资源去为神的国尽力。
虽然我不知道有关的统计数据，但我听说很多人如果在退休之后失去了目的感和在生活中有用的感觉，不久就会死去。因为我们是被造来做仆人的——就如基督在世上的时候一样。当我们离开了我们的目的之后，我们就失去了我们的生命。
“并且他替众人死，是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活，乃为替他们死而复活的主活。” 【歌林多后书 5:15】

A rich man's field produced a big gain
But what would he do with all that grain?
"I have no place to store my crops."
I filled my barns all the way to their tops.
I'll tear them down and build ones bigger
And then retire while I still have vigor
I'll take life easy and bask by the pool
But God said to him, "You are a fool!
Tonight you'll die, you'll go on the shelf
Then who will get what you prepared for yourself?"
So it will be for those who hoard
Things for themselves but not for the Lord
