When we talk about giving to God, or to the work of God, we must remember that it is all his. He doesn't need our gifts to do his work. On the other hand, we do need to share the blessings he has entrusted to us. What we 'have' isn't really ours; it's all his, entrusted to us to be put into useful service to others for God's work and God's glory.

Jesus' words are very strong! His emphasis is for a reason. Christians need to realize that they are not going to be the dominant culture.

He is our praise!

Then, after doing those things in us...

With the proliferation of radio talk shows, we are even given the opportunity to sound off to that noise. Unfortunately, quite often we say things that are harmful, hurtful, or foolish. God's wisdom...

 

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

—Ecclesiastes 10:18 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Laziness is not just an attitude; it is a lack of action. It is a choice to let important matters suffer and neglect what is necessary.
