Christians are to be like rivers, not stagnant lakes.  The blessings God gives us are to be shared instead of hoarded.

From 2 Corinthians 9:6-8:  “The point is this:  the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.  Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.”

You know the human response to panic?  First, we are afraid.  Second, we run.  Third, we fight.  Fourth, we tell everybody.  God’s counsel is just the opposite.  Don’t be afraid.  Stand still.  Watch Him work.  Keep quiet.  It’s then that He does it.  He takes over!

From Exodus 14:13:  “But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today, for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again.'”

Those who realize their days belong to God are careful how they live.

From Ephesians 5:15-17:  “Be careful, then, how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.  So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
