I find myself wondering if the thief is one who takes advantage of others for personal gain (stealing)....or is the he the one who labors to keep what he gets for himself? Furthermore, I wonder if this verse does not possibly imply that honest labor gains to give to those in need with the implication that dis-honest labor gains to keep and hoard?<br /><br /><br />God blesses His people....<br />1. For His name's sake<br />2. So His people can be a blessing to others.<br />3. So that His people can humbly experience the wonder of blessing and joyfully express appreciation to God for His touch.Terry Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530565126716493439noreply@blogger.com
