Generosity with wisdom

Paul tells the rich not to be proud or hope in uncertain wealth, but in God. He then calls them to good works and readiness to share. Possessions carry opportunity and responsibility. The passage moves confidence away from wealth and toward a life that uses resources for lasting good.

Put the Word into practice

Set aside time or resources for a specific good work, with hope anchored in God.
