More is Never Enough
Read 2 Corinthians 8:9
Today’s Truth
One of the most challenging things in life is our relationship with money. We don’t have enough. We want more. We waste what we have. We borrow from our future to stroke our present. We hoard what we have. We argue over money. We feel stress much of the time. We compare ourselves to others — feeling bad when they have more and feeling better when they have less.
Money must be mastered, not be our master.
Discussion Questions
- When it comes to you and money, which is master in your life?
- What is one thing you can do today to begin thinking like Jesus about money?
Application
When we listen to Jesus and do what He says, by tithing and giving generously, He protects us from greed. God commands us to bring 10 percent of our gross income back to the church and challenges us to give generously above the tithe as we aim to be more like Jesus.
God is always enough. Giving, not getting, is spiritually rewarding. The more we give, the more our spirit will celebrate.
