DEUTERONOMIUM 8:17

There's a kind of tired that money can cause. The lying-awake-at-2am kind. The doing-the-math-again-in-your-head kind. Jesus had a lot to say to people carrying that weight, and most of it was kinder than we expect. In this plan we'll sit with what He actually taught about provision, work, and worry. You'll leave with less anxiety in your chest and a steadier sense of who's actually holding it all.

John Piper once said, “My job is faithfulness. God’s is fruitfulness.” That quote beautifully illustrates a tension we see throughout God’s Word—namely that while Scripture commands us to work hard, it also tells us that God alone produces results through our work. How do we manage this tension? That’s the question we’ll answer in this four-day devotional.

Have you ever wondered where gratitude comes from? In this reading plan, we will wrestle with the truth that everything we have is a gift from God. We will discuss how to avoid three common traps that rob us of experiencing gratitude. And finally, we will consider the impact that a heart overflowing with gratitude can have on everyone else around us.

This multi-part reading plan explores God’s design for growth and multiplication, beginning in Genesis and continuing through the words of Moses and Jesus.
