In discussing the Philippians gift that Paul received, he helps us to think about what resources, gift giving and lack all point to.
What looks successful is not always healthy, especially when everyone depends on one gifted leader. In Exodus 18, Jethro watches Moses carry the people’s disputes from morning until evening and warns that both Moses and the people will wear themselves out. How does God actually intend his people to serve together?
Our minds wander into a lot of things that are less than God glorifying. Does is it really matter if it stays in the mind?
We forget so quickly—and when we forget what God has done, we start to feel alone. That’s exactly why, in Numbers 9, God tells Israel it’s time to keep the Passover: not because the exodus needs to happen again, but because his people need to taste his faithfulness again.

Why are we doing the things we do? Are we doing them because we love our God?
