TRUST IN THE LIVING GODD

I Timothy 6:17-19
Charge them that are rich in this age, that the be not high-minded  nor trust in uncertain riches but in the Living GOD, Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

This is not works theology, it is a description of the kind of outpouring of the heart of GOD through His children.  GOD gives us riches, in order for us to help others, as His ambassadors. When things are given to us, they are on a journey to another person.; they have a tag, GIVEN IN JESUS NAME.

I have a friend in Alabama who has said to me, "all things are given into your hand, in order for you to take it to another hand, from Him"  "Nothing belongs to you, it belongs to the person for whom it is intended by GOD". Her wisdom is worth living. We must hold things loosely, so that the LORD can provide for those in need.
