Proverbs 22:9 “A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.” Sharing earthly goods like food and clothing is a trait America is known for. Where I live the amount of food at food shelves or pantries is huge. There is never a shortage. Where you live the story might be different, but where there is an urgent need Americans respond. Even though there is political turmoil, God continues to bless America. You and I, whenever possible, must continue to be generous.

Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” Become debt free. Don’t struggle with credit card debt. Prepare for an economically independent future. Wisely manage your finances identically as you manage the rest of your life. Never put yourself in a situation where you live paycheck to paycheck. Living abundantly, which is God’s promise, carries throughout all aspects of our lives. This is practical and wise thinking.

Your and my job is to form God’s children so they are beautiful, creative and full of God’s intended purpose.
