While reading the introduction of a book by Andy Stanley, Fields of Gold, I came across a thought that simply stopped me in my tracks.
Greed can be destructive. It’s a trap we can easily get caught in. It may be, for some, a powerful reason NOT to be a generous person. However, the line from Andy’s book made me think of an even more sinister motivation to keep it all to myself.
“I concluded my problem wasn’t greed. It was fear.”
Fear, when it comes to our money sounds like this (in case you were wondering):
“What if I need the money for something else?”
“What if I’m not saving enough?”
“What if I have an unexpected expense?”
“What if I don’t have enough left over?”
Our “what ifs” and fears are often the very things standing between us and The Blessed Life!
Don’t let fear determine the life you’ll live. Let’s let FAITH rule the day. After all, the One we put our faith in has never failed us!
