Do I give generously, or spend greedily?




It kinda makes me feel guilty to think of how we don't even hesitate when it comes to buying something for ourselves.

Stuff like a new shirt, new watch, new sunglasses, a new cd, or the latest gadget.
But when it comes to giving time or money to a good cause, or to charity, or to church, we don't want to, we think our money is too precious to be given away to those things. To think that we've worked too hard for it, and we can do with it what we want, besides, its our money right,......No. Not at all.

Everything that we have, we should give God all the praise and the glory.

Think about this..... How many times do we thank God, just for our health???

Are you thankful for what God has blessed you with? Before you go on complaining about your coat zipper breaking, or gas prices, or complaining about doing chores and homework,
We need to get down on our knees and thank God for all of our many blessings, like family, our health, a home to live in, food to eat, freedom,... and give God all the glory and all the praise.

"....Rejoice in every good thing which thy Lord thy God hath given unto thee."
-Deuterouomy 26:11

Have you thought to thank Him recently? Do you feel that the good things which you enjoy are accidental and through some effort of your own:

Who gives you the power and wisdom and strength to get gain? Acknowledge the hand of God in your life now that it may be well with you in the future.
"Let every thing that has breath, praise the Lord."
