Giving to God His Own
335
want of principle shown in his misappropriation of God’s means will
be revealed in his management of other matters. It will be seen in all
matters connected with his own business. The man who will rob God
is cultivating traits of character that will cut him off from admittance
into the family of God above.

A selfish use of riches proves one unfaithful to God, and unfits the
steward of means for the higher trust of heaven.

flow. Needs are constantly arising, missions are handicapped for want
of means. These must be abandoned unless God’s people awake to the
true state of things. Wait not until your death to make your will, but
dispose of your means while you live.
