[Wednesday's Devotional] - A call to Share

Do you consider yourself rich?  A survey found that on average, people responded that they would be well off if they earned 30% more than their current salary.  It didn't matter how much they earned – they always wanted the same amount more.

In fact we are all rich in the things that count, here what Paul says to Timothy:

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.  In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 Timothy 6: 17-19 [NIV]

So, if you are rich in monetary terms, perhaps you can find ways to share your wealth with others?  If you are rich in talents, gifts, skills or experience – these things can also be shared.  We are rich in the good news we have been entrusted with – this gospel we can share whenever and wherever the opportunity arises.

There are so many people we come into contact with, and so many ways we can share good news with our networks…
