In reading this, a thought came across my mind. What would happen if we concentrated on filling other people's "barns" instead of our own? God will take care of ours.
Also, things stored in barns tend to spoil. When I lived on the farm, we would only put in enough hay to get us through the winter. If you filled it too full, the hay would spoil.
Love that! There is so much to chew on in this one. It lines up with the parable of the talents for me. Why do we store things or dig holes instead of letting God multiply them?

Love the question about what do I need bigger barns for. Applicable across all areas of life.
Thanks, Bill. Agreed. That is definitely how this parable hit me this time around.
I love your message - something many of us struggle with! Thanks for the nudge to give this more thought.
Thank you, Cindy!
