Although North America has only 6% of the world adult population, it accounts for 34% of household wealth. There are approximately 6.6 billion people in the world today and close to half of them (well over 3 billion) live on less than $2 a day! I'd guess that if you live in the United States or Canada, don't own a car, and "have to ride the bus", you are paying more than $2 a day on just transportation alone. If you can read this, you have discretionary income and time. We, (you and I) are some of the richest people in the world. This is not bad, but it does carry a unique set of responsibilities.
Three Attitudes to Avoid:
- Don't be arrogant, rather be thankful, remember God provides you with everything you have for your enjoyment
- Don't put your hope in wealth, but in God
- Don't see your wealth as a burden. If what you have is a burden, something is likely askew with your gratitude, your generosity, or maybe both.
- Do good
- Do be generous
- Do be willing to share
Question: What's one attitude or behavior that has helped you to be more generous? Please leave a comment below.
