Ecclesiastes: Wealth
God owns it all, and everything we have is a gift from him. Satisfaction comes when we are content with what God gives and steward his gifts in a way that honors him.
Road Rules: God-Honored Giving
God is not worthy of our leftovers. We should worship him with the firstfruits—the best—of our time and money. This proverb reminds us that God blesses obedience.
Dependence
Giving is not about amounts; it is about our attitude.
Occupied with Joy
When we learn to do things God’s way we move from whining to thanksgiving because “God keeps [us] occupied with joy in [our] heart[s].”
Flourish
In today’s passage, the psalmist prays that God will cause his people to flourish.
