1 Timothy 6: . 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
Paul tells Timothy what to say to rich people. They will build a treasure in heaven through their generosity today. Their hope should be in God instead of their transient possessions.
I'm trying to do this. Having more money after Mother's death has not been an unqualified blessing, as I have worried about doing the right thing with it. This much has always been clear to me: I will share the wealth whenever I see need. I'm especially interested in personal sharing, to make life easier for those I know are suffering. I have written a few checks already, and more will be coming.
Prayer: Lord, guide me to share my wealth with generous gifts to those in need. Show me the ways that I can spend both time and money to make life better for those who are hurting. Help me to build my treasure where it really counts, in Your kingdom.
Amen
