Right now, our fall emphasis on financial stewardship is going on. It got me to thinking about this article from 1999, which I first read a few years ago. It looks at the promise of God's abundance that runs all through the Bible vs. our natural inclination to worry about not having enough. It's long-ish, but such a powerful witness to the great goodness God offers to us everyday. We don't need to fear that we will not have enough, even in these times of economic roller-coasters. It is a call to share what we have, in trust, in faith; to put aside our slavery to money and all it represents, a slavery we enter into out of our fear.
If you have a chance, please go read it. It may change the way you think of money, possessions, stewardship. Just click on the title above to go straight to the article!
