Consider our . Respond to our . Factor into the equation. Applying God's Word to Life What are the things you find easy or hard to spend money on? What might the Father be putting His finger on when He asks us to consider our ways? How do our spending habits reveal our priorities? Why can it be easier to be generous when someone else is watching? What does it look like to put ourselves first and then try to fit God in afterward? How does knowing God as our Father change the way we think about giving? What would it look like to go to the Father privately and ask, “What do You want me to do?” What might keep us saying “not yet” when God is asking us to respond? Do we really believe that God’s way is better than the way we would naturally arrange our lives? In what way are you willing to obey what God puts before you by faith today?
