Luke 12:19

“And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”

And he would tell his own inner heart, his spirit within, that now he had secured his future. He had plenty laid up for it, and he could now retire and enjoy the fruit of all his past hard work and his hard earned wealth. He did not take into account that it was God Who had given him the corn and the wine (Hosea 2:8; Deuteronomy 15:10).

For a man speaking to his own soul in this way compare Psalms 42:5. To do it wisely is good. To do it foolishly is disaster.
