More or Less?

Do you want more or less? The more you get the more will be required of you. Having more makes life harder not easier. There’s no such thing as riches without responsibility. You’re required to be faithful with what you have. And if you’re not faithful with what you have why would God give you more? Some people seem to think that if they could just get more it would solve their problems. But for the messy, more just multiplies the mess, so if you’re having problems what you probably really need is not more but less.

Less stuff, less bills, less debt equals less responsibility, So maybe just maybe it’s time to stop praying for more and start praying for less.

“whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required”
Luke 12:48 KJV

Deut 10:12
12 "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
NKJV

Mic 6:6-8
6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
NKJV

Rom 14:12
12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
NKJV

Luke 16:1-2
16 He also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'
NKJV

Luke 16:10-12
10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?
NKJV

Ex 16:17-18
17 Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. 18 So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need.
NKJV
