Before you read onthink about whichParablemight James Merrittbe writing about with this title of
A Better Financial Planner
Clearly it's a Parable about our finances 
You can look at the Parables from Matthew (in #22) or those from Luke (in #21)in my last two blog posts where I listed them to help you choose
then the Challenge is to go to the Comments & share your guessbefore reading more of today's postso

make your choice of which Parable you think it might be

I look forward to gaining wisdom from Jesus & this Parable.
Although I am sure I have read this Parable many times,
I rarely made mental note of these points as
planning better financial matters. 
I just so happened to 'google' this title 
which gave me "5 Traits of Successful Financial Advisors"
among other financial points yet I think JESUS probably is the BEST
FINANCIAL PLANNER

Just in case you may need to know  these traits; they are: 1) Passion for financial planning & wealth management; 2) deep Analytical ability; 3) Professional salesmanship;4) putting a Client's interest first; 5) Curiosity Thank you Investopedia!
Truthfully, I don't have enough finances to warrant this kind of managementyet no matter how much or what we have - Kingdom building calls for usto be financially responsible, plan and manage according to the principles that JESUS teaches usthroughout His Word butespecially in the Parables

However, let me clue you in on the first point James Merritt tells us that the

reflections from this Parable & readings are not just for the RICH

then he lets us know

"we are richer than we think"

Let me give you the Scripture readings for this week:

Luke 12:13-21; Romans 12:9-13; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; James 2:1-7

and these are the subtitles/segments:

"How Do You See Your Wealth?" "Secret Wanting" "Be Content with What You Have" "Foolish Thinking" "Be Conscious of Where You are Going"

"Lord, thank You for meeting my needs. I agree that what is mine is Yours - guide me as I give to those who need  what I have."

I'm sure that you have heard or learned as I have how much better it is
TO GIVE
than
TO RECEIVE
Giving is an act of worship!
What a great reminder this is for every day
