One thing causing us not to take the biblical approach with finances is fear: the fear that we won’t have enough. This fear causes us to hold on to what we have, and tightly! We cannot release because we fear we won’t have enough and will not get any more. It keeps us from being able to genuinely celebrate another’s success because it breeds an inherent belief that somewhere down the road, his/her success takes away from our chance to succeed, and we do not want them to get our piece of the pie.
