I found this days reading to be challenging. Challenging in the area of thought processes. I have not often thought of my pockets to have so many partitions and please do not hear me disagreeing with Dr. Jeremiah, in fact I think he is on to some very good thoughts that could really change the focus of money in most peoples homes.
If the first thought that Dr. Jeremiah, I think that could transform the importance of money in our society. Money then becomes about God and not about us. It ceases to be about us, about our wants, our desires and our percieved needs. And it becomes God's desire, God's plan, God's money and we are just stewards of His Stuff, His Money.
I never really understood what it means to be a Steward until I watched the movie, "Lord of the Rings." It was this movie that helped me understand. In the story, the Kings of Gondor where gone and a Steward was appointed to care for the kingdom. They were given charge of the kingdom but it was not forever, when the Rightful King Returned, then the Kingdom would be given back to him. But until that point in time the Steward was in charge of the Kings Kingdom. In a sense that is what we have been given we have become stewards of God's kingdom and everything in it! But ultimately it is His! We are His and everything that we have is His!
Although, at the same time we are given the freedom to be a blessing to those around us that are in need. I believe that in God's economy we have the ability to really look at those around us that need help and we can use the resources we have for others, which ultimately leads to God's Glory!!!
That is a Great thought!!!
