HABITS WORTH HAVING – Frugality ----------------------------------------------- Frugality does not mean that we need to take a vow of poverty. It is the spiritual discipline of abstaining from using our money/goods in ways that merely gratify our desires or our hunger for status, glamour, or luxury. It’s about God’s perspective. We try to fill a void that only God can fill, but anything else is NEVER enough. We so often think that we are self-sufficient. Yes, God blesses some with wealth, but He also gives them a heart of giving. With all of our resources (time, talents, abilities), we should ask ourselves. “What would God have me do with this?” If we don’t have a mind and heart for God because we are so full of other stuff, we are missing out. We should not horde, but be generous. Consider how much we really need. What is our attitude and focus? Do we have a grateful heart? Do we live by faith? Do we trust God? It is all about our attitude. To be rich toward God is to be obedient, and truly knowing God for Who He is.
