Give All You Have

by Charles R. Swindoll

The fear of the LORD is the beginning

of wisdom, and knowledge of

the Holy One is understanding.

Proverbs 9:10

If you're the kind of Christian who really wants the whole purpose of God, then you dare not leave out kingdom commitment.

That means your motives must be investigated.

For example, every time you make plans to acquire a sizable possession---a car, an expensive boat, a house, and such like---you must deal with it before God and ask: Is this His will? Would this honor Him? Would this glorify Him?

Am I suggesting that you take a vow of poverty? No, not that.

My message is not that you go hungry and give up all nice things. I just say you give up control of them.

Give all you have to the Lord God and trust Him to give back all that you need.
