Contemplative Bible Reading

Proverbs 11:24  (New Living Translation)

Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.

These two lines are right from today’s “sharing economy.” Give your ideas away and everyone will come to you for help. And, by the way, they will pay you handsomely for your help. The source of all that new-found wealth is first giving. And so the “new” thought goes.
