When I compare these three verbs, they each make me feel differently: spend, share, give. I’m interested in your perspective:
•. What I spend is gone - although I may receive great reward in return. I love spending time with my grandchildren.
•. What I share has mutual benefit - although I may prefer that you share your pie with me rather than I share my pie with you.
•. What I give I allow someone else to control - although when God has control, He works everything for good - including my offerings.
This week’s sermon passage in 1 Timothy 6:6-19 reminds us that life’s inevitable uncertainties can protect our priorities when we experience them though our heavenly Father’s perspective.
