It's easy to get really excited about something. Maybe it's a new jeep, an iPhone, or even God. Sad to say, short attention spans plague us. Soon something else new and improved comes into view, and what was once the object of our attention becomes just another thing on the shelf. You know what I mean? The Corinthians suffered from this as well.
2 Corinthians 8:10-12 (New Living Translation)
10 Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it. 11 Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have. 12 Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have.
Do you kind of want to pretend like you didn't hear these words? Well, Paul said it best, and you heard it here.
