Joseph, called by the apostles “Barnabas” (which means “Son of Comfort”), a Levite born in Cyprus, sold a field that he owned, brought the money, and made an offering of it to the apostles. ~ Acts 4:36-37 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
Hold onto your wealth loosely so that it doesn't control your life and so you don't hesitate to give it away when there is a need.PRAYER:
Lord, you are the source of all that we have. Thank you for blessing us with so much. I need to keep my wealth in perspective. Help me to be like Barnabas -- open-handed and generous. I'm looking forward to the joy that comes from giving. Amen.
