The Haves and the Have Nots!

Scripture Anchors

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
Hebrews 13:5 ESV

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Luke 12:15 ESV

“Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over… The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”
Luke 6:38 NLT

The Vitamin

In the U.S., we have so much that we often forget how blessed we already are.
We have so much that we stop appreciating what others wish they had.

Many of us have more than enough — yet still feel like we need more.
Where does satisfaction enter the picture?

• Technology keeps releasing something new to entice your eyes.
• Designers keep pushing the next style with someone’s name on it — and people rush to buy it.
• Restaurants feed us more than we need, and we still want more.
• Cars get bigger, flashier, and pricier — and people stretch themselves thin just to “look like they have it.”

We’ve lost balance.
We’ve lost gratitude.
We’ve lost the pause that says, “Lord, thank You for what I already have.”

Even if you can afford it — because of your education, your career, or your current status — the question remains:

Do you appreciate what you have?
And do you remember those who have not?

The Heart Check

God is the One who provides:

• A sound mind
• Opportunities
• Careers
• Stability
• Protection
• Favor
• And the ability to enjoy what we have

It only takes one disaster, one shift, one unexpected moment for everything to change.
So whether you are in the “Haves” or the “Have Nots,” the posture of your heart matters.

If you are among the Haves:

• Thank God for what you have.
• Don’t take credit for what He provided.
• Bless others out of your abundance.

If you are among the Have Nots:

• Don’t borrow from Peter to pay Paul.
• Don’t compare yourself to others.
• Remember: in God’s economy, little becomes much.
• What you have can feel like more than what others possess — because you know where your help comes from.

The Call to Action

The Word says: Give… and you will get.
Not because God is a vending machine — but because generosity aligns your heart with His.

Check it out in the Word.
Check your heart.
Check your habits.

And if you need to shift your mindset, your gratitude, or your stewardship…
