SOMETHING NEW TO THINK ABOUT IN THE NEW YEAR

If we have a little "extra" money,do we  donate "SOME" to Church?  My neighbor can't pay their rent, but I am saving for a better car that I really "need".  The "old" person across the street always wants to talk, but I really don't have the time to listen.   Even if we DO SOMETHING REALLY GOOD, but it does not require FAITH;  does it REALLY GLORIFY GOD?  Hebrews 11:6, "And without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE GOD..."  If we Pray for the healing of others, their Salvation and a most "intimate relationship" with GOD with FAITH that it WILL BE DONE; does that GLORIFY GOD?   Is our "FAITH" just to get us through something?  Or maybe FAITH GLORIFIES GOD when we don't think we have enough, or can't imagine how it can be done, but we still act  with confidence that GOD WILL DO THE REST.   A farmer can plant a seed, but it will still grow while he sleeps.  SOMETHING NEW TO THINK ABOUT IN THE NEW YEAR.   MAY GOD SHOW US OUR HEART'S DESIRES, AND BLESS THEM TO  HIS GLORY.
