What in the notes did you find revealing, interesting or challenging?

I found it extremely interesting and revealing that valuing money directly competes against God. We should all learn to be good stewards of God’s money.

I found revealing, interesting or challenging in the notes that God owns all so we must surrender all including our minds, our hearts, and our pocketbooks.
From the notes:
“Martin Luther recognized this struggle when he said, “There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, of the mind and of the pocketbook.””

God knows our needs, He knows everything. I don’t have to worry because He’s in control!
-
A lot of people want to be recognized and own lots of material possessions, not thinking about God unless in an emergency!
As a Christian I learned that He is in control and owns everything even money, so I trust God with His money that I steward in my life.

The most revealing part for me is where instead of asking ‘God how do you want me to spend my money’ – change it to ‘Your (Gods) money. This change in ownership completely changes how I plan to spend money going forwards. As for example, I probably not going to be buying another cute pen that I saw in the shop as I have 20 cute pens already at home, it encourages to be more responsible and keep asking myself what God wants me to do with His money. Also I like the fact that spending this way becomes a spiritual decision.
