YES AND AMEN! God Prospers Me Not To Raise My Standard Of Living, But To Raise My Standard Of Giving. God comes right out and tells us why He gives us more money than we need. It’s not so we can find more ways to spend it. It’s not so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children. It’s not so we can insulate ourselves from needing God’s provision. It’s so we can give—generously. Now, the money manager (us) has legitimate needs, and He doesn’t resent our making reasonable expenditures on ourselves. But suppose the Owner (God) sees us living luxuriously. He knows that we can cross the line of reasonable expenses. Won’t the Owner (God) call us to account for squandering money that’s not ours? We’re called God’s servants, and we’re told it’s required of us that we “prove faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). We’re God’s errand boys and delivery girls. We should keep that in mind when we set our salaries. Let’s not have an inflated view of our own value. We don’t own the store. We just work here! Just because God puts his money in our hands doesn’t mean He intends for it to stay there! Our main job is to get Gods blessings from us to the person He wants to give them to. Give generously to one another just like Jesus Christ.
