Numbers 22:39-23:26; Proverbs 20:1-21:11; James 4:13-5:20
Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 Timothy 6:18-19 NKJV
For believers, life is a stewardship. We must use our time, talents, and treasure for the Lord’s purposes. Paul calls on affluent saints to amass the true wealth of “good works”. Saints employ their material resources to help others, thereby establishing a foundation for their future life in glory. By using physical things in this way, they will receive reward and store up a good foundation for “eternal life” in its future consummation. – Keith R. Keyser
All that we are, and all we have, shall be forever Thine;
And all a cheerful heart could give, our willing hands resign. —I. Watts
