Read 1 Timothy 4-6
1 Timothy 6:18 says, "That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;" Popular philosophy says if you act like you’re rich, you will get rich. That concept is not as new as it seems.
Paul told Timothy to make sure the rich didn’t just trust in their riches or give only of their money. He wanted them to get out there and do good works, take a hands on approach.
This is certainly a way we can act like the rich do without going over our budgets. We can reach out to others in need and help in our churches and communities whenever and wherever we can. We can be rich in those things that matter, like helping others, no matter how empty our bank accounts may be.
