As we come to understand our purpose in God's will for our lives, we will readjust our determination for the mammon we work for or freely receive. It is for our simple provisions (1Timothy 6:6-8) and the overflow should be invested towards His Kingdom. (Matthew 6:20) When we become familiarized with the cause and effect of sowing and reaping, our Kingdom supplies will increase while the selfish and greedy will one day be found without. (Mark 4:21-25)
The time we have to ourselves will also be made available for His causes and our joy changes from what the world clamors for to the abundant life found in serving. Everything we used to spend on ourselves, every moment of time we cherished for ourselves will be transformed and refocused towards the treasures that are eternal. (Matthew 6:19-21)
"He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God." (2 Corinthians 9:10-12)
PJR
"Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your abundance will supply what they need, so that in turn their abundance will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, as it is written: "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little." (2 Corinthians 8:13-15)
