098 The Givers or the Grabbers

August 18, 2020

“Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy.” Luke 12:32-33 
So many people live in fear, but Jesus says, “Do not be afraid..it has pleased my Father to give you the kingdom.” It is fear that keeps us in the kingdom of Satan.
Jesus says, “Give.” The devil says, “Grab.” That’s the difference between the two kingdoms — the givers and the grabbers. Fear makes us grab and hoard things. Trust in the Lord allows us to be givers.
Scripture:

* Luke 12:32-33
