If your heart’s desire is to experience the life indeed that Paul presented to young Timothy, then you will not fix your hope on the riches, but on the Giver of the riches who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. And, when you are blessed in a material manner, you will enjoy what He has given to you.
One of the outstanding tenets of living the life of God’s dreams for you is that abundance is certainly not measured by wealth, but by generosity.
Paul instructs Timothy that after a person has enjoyed what God has given to them, they must then do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.
Part of the equation of abundant living, is to work hard at doing good deeds. It is true that doing good deeds does not save your soul, but doing good deeds is your faith at work in the lives of others. When a believer understands the unequaled joy and wealth of sharing and generously making others’ lives easier, they have certainly discovered the secret of living life well.
If you are a wealthy believer, you are not losing anything at all when you give away what you have to others. In truth, giving to others generously is the greatest investment package known to mankind.
If you are not a wealthy believer and find yourself envying those who have attained wealth, your goal is to keep your eyes on Jesus and not on what you do not have. There is deep fulfillment and delightful satisfaction in discovering ways to give to the Body of Christ that are non-financial in essence. When your bank account is too low to give to the missionary, volunteer to teach Sunday school. If you don’t have stocks to cash in to give to the church building program, work in the nursery or volunteer to paint walls at church. God loves a cheerful giver whether the giver is supplying finances, strong muscles, or just a kind word.
