Go-Giver!

"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops." -Proverbs 3:9 (NIV)
The world often tells us that we need to be a go-getter.  We need to get more money, more fame or prestige, more "stuff" in general.  The focus may be to work up the ladder or to find short-cuts for getting to the top to get more, even if it is at the expense of others.  While getting more can be one focus in our lives, fitness expert Sagi Kalev offers another approach.  Kalev has said, "Don't be a go-getter, be a go-giver!"

We can change the focus in life from getting to giving.  We are reminded in Proverbs that we all have wealth that we can give.  We may have money or material wealth.  We may have talents and time.  Instead of keeping these talents and gifts to ourselves, we should first consider how we can share them.  By sharing from our wealth, we can show God's love and we can make the world around us a better place in His name.  We can learn to focus on giving rather than getting!

Be a go-giver, not a go-getter!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You have given me.  Help me to focus on giving and not on getting.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
