DAY 5: MONEY.
As believers, we should not be idolizing money. We should be living generous lives that reflect our dependence on God for everything we have.
Tithing (paying the first 10% of your income to your local church) serves as a springboard for living generously. It's a practical approach to showing that you prioritize God in your life.
When you develop the practice of living with an open hand, generosity becomes more than just a thing you do; it becomes who you are. You start to idolize money less when you realize that you wouldn’t have any of it without the grace of God, whether you work to earn it or not.
Homework:
Be generous. Spend at least one hour of your time this week serving others. You can volunteer your time at church, clean out your closet and donate clothes to a homeless shelter, buy a friend a cup of coffee or treat them to lunch, or give money (privately) to someone in need.
