Prosperity Done Right
Some people feel selfish when they pray for prosperity. All too often, that stops them. But guilt doesn’t need to get in the way of prosperity. Consider this:
Have you ever flown on an airplane? If you have, then you’ll remember a stewardess standing up front demonstrating the safety features of the airplane. One of those features is an oxygen mask that drops down if the cabin experiences a drop in air pressure. Flying at 30,000 feet or higher, means the air outside is pretty thin—too thin for breathing. The rule is for adults to put on their own mask first, and then to assist children—not the other way around. The reason is simple. You can’t help the child or yourself if you black out first. When you look at prosperity as a responsibility in helping others, then guilt doesn’t even come close.
