Selwyn’s introduction contains a key point which we must take to heart if we are to be fruitful in our journey: “God wants us to be free from bondage to money. He wants us to trust Him, not wealth.”
There is a choice for all of us; we can either seek wealth to make the 80 or 90 years of this life comfortable; or we can seek God and live an eternal, glorious life with Jesus.
I admit it is a difficult decision for some because we can easily believe in the things we can see and experience right now. Going into a shop and buying something we want, can give us immediate gratification – we can see it and feel it – and, after a few years toss it into a rubbish bin.
Trusting God, is believing in a promise that will be fulfilled in the future – we can’t see it right now – yet, it will never wear out or become obsolete – we will enjoy it forever and we will never grow tired of it – it’s almost too good to be true.
The other bit I liked in today’s study is: “What we must not do as Christians is to assume that the way things are is the right way. Disciples are radical. And if ever radicalism was needed it is now.”
What did you think of today’s study?
Give! Give! Give!
