Steal
Ephesians 4: 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
“We can also steal from God. Of course, this demands we honor God with our financial resources, so we are not guilty of robbing Him (Malachi 3:8-10). But we can also rob God by refusing to give Him ourselves for obedience and His service, because He bought us and owns us: knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold... but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19); For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20).” (Guzik)
I am guilty, are you?
Blessings
