Are you Rich???
Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share.
I TIMOTHY 6:18
A businessman who sold his road construction company stunned his employees by dividing a third of the profit among them. Each of his 550 workers received a share of the $128 million, with some of his long term associates getting bonuses of $1 million each - tax free.
"It's sharing good times, that's really all it is," the owner said. "People work exceedingly hard for us...I wanted to go out doing the right thing."
A friend once said to me, "Sometimes God doesn't entrust us with money, because we want to keep it while He wants us to give it away." I pondered this statement in light of the words of Scripture directed toward those "who are rich in this present age". Paul said, "Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share."
It's easy to say, "Well, if I had millions of dollars, I'd be happy to share what I have with others." But would we? What riches of time, talent, or treasure am I hoarding today? What has God given me that I am unwilling to share?
In whatever way God blesses us, He longs for us to be joyful and generous as we pass it on.
