Захария 4:10

Author Joshua Becker has seen something beautiful happen when people right-size the quantity of their possessions—in the process, the people themselves are changed. So although this devotional is about minimizing your stuff, you’ll discover that owning less means making yourself over too! As you decrease the amount of things you own, you’ll be amazed at how your faith, sense of purpose, and spirit of generosity grow in abundance.

Призыв к народу Божьего завета в Захарии 9:12: "Возвращайтесь на твердыню вы, пленники надеющиеся!" - ключевой стих для этой серии. Надежда, которую провозглашает Захария, — это надежда на Бога как на Царя, надежда на то, что Бог пришел, чтобы жить с нами, и надежда на то, что завет между Богом и Божьим народом будет восстановлен. Это и есть пленившая нас надежда.

Whether you’re praising God for His grace or wrestling with your faith, God will always meet you with His unchanging love, truth, and strength. Step into a community of women committed to growing closer to God and each other through trusting that He is and always will be enough.

Scriptures say that God’s values are different from the world’s. This is evident in the area of wealth and possessions. God whispers, “I am enough. Do not seek joy or security in anything else. You’ll be more fulfilled owning less.” Minimalism, the act of purposefully owning less is about more than decluttering. It offers a path to optimizing our life under God.
