God makes His ways very plain and we are without excuse, particularily in the matter of stewardship. The writer of Proverbs 3:9-10 makes the getting, giving and getting process simple. It is clear that all/any people get "things" by working for them, someone giving them to us or by stealing.
It seems as if the 10th Psalm calls our conduct of our stewardship into plain sight and shows how we treat others while God is watching. Let us remember that there is nothing hid from God. Our goal ought to be like Jesus not anti Christ.
When Jesus came off the mountain after sharing the "sermon on the mount" and went for the boat ride storms arose. It is always better to be with Jesus in the srorm(will of God) than to be covered with gold seperated from God. How we act/react in the storm reveals our faith. When you see how Matthew was called and how he responded, how do you recall your "response" to Jesus when He said Folllow Me? Are you in God's will today?
I hope you were fascinated with God when you read Genesis 22. Perhaps you have been disappointed by the conduct of Abraham and Sarah, Issac and Rebekah and Issac and Esau, because of their tendency to lie to people. How has this impacted your concept of God and changed your conduct? We read to know God. Spend a few minuets looking back through the 26 chapters of Genesis and take note of the names of God.
