God's Will
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

My Money
But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
That is something for every Christ Follower to think about!

Quiet Time
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
How quiet is your quiet time? If we are not careful our time with the Lord will become part of the routine or a hurried obligation. We need quiet. Even Jesus needed a quiet time. We do too. We can learn from Jesus example about quiet time.
Jesus went when He knew He could get away. For Him it was early morning. He had a place that was out of His ordinary routine. He went to a place that was secluded. He practiced the spiritual disciplines of Solitude and prayer.
The most important aspect of a quality quiet time is being able to get away and be quiet. God says to us, "Be still and know that I am God." Try it today it will make a huge impact in your life.

From Him
"Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
Everything we have, in fact everything we are or achieve is all from Him. It all belongs to Him. It is not ours but His. When we understand this fact as King David did it will change how we handle are stuff and ourselves. If it is God's we are merely borrowing it. Our money, our gifts and talents and all of our stuff is not our own but His.
Are you handling your things as something borrowed? That is what stewardship as a Christ follower is all about.
