3. A WORD IN DUE SEASON - GREED vs GENEROSITY
I have been praying and pondering larger issues lately concerning California. I am a native Californian and I love this state. I am very aware of our history of becoming a state rather quickly based on the gold that was discovered and the westward expansion to obtain wealth. Thus, much of what was initially founded for California was based on attitudes of great haste and greed.
The Lord keeps tugging at my heart regarding 2 areas: wealth and need. Worldwide, California is ranked fifth among the wealthiest economies (*). Often, I believe our state and our nation resembles the Church of Laodicea that Jesus spoke of in Revelations, Chapter 3. This Church felt that because it was so rich, that it had need of nothing. But the reality was that it suffered from a severe condition of spiritual blindness and poverty that prevented the truth from being seen. The Lord's counsel to this church was to seek Him and His understanding ( and His pure, refined gold ) so that their eyes could be healed and so they could see their condition as He saw it and repent.
I sense the Lord inviting us to turn the tide from our original foundations of greed to that of radical generosity....that He desires His Beloved Bride of California to begin to empty their barns of stored up goods towards the nations in great need. That we would become a most generous people that shares with others that which we have been so richly blessed with ("we are blessed so that we can be a blessing"). God desires equality and justice (see 2 Corinthians 8, especially verses 13-15) on behalf of all of the nations and a holy reciprocity of giving and receiving from one another...so that there should be no lack. May the Lord turn our hearts and actions (repentance) from any places of greed and/or hoarding so that we can be known for our generosity .....resulting in needs being met and His Name and glory being made known in all of the earth.
Thanks for listening, may the Lord direct our hearts.
Together for His glory, honor and smile,
Lynn Heatley ****************************************************************************************************
