More from John D. Rockefeller & related wisdom
The Jews understand that the blessing of wealth was dependent upon obedience to the law and covenant. The laws in the Torah, if followed, would bring blessings. The Tanakh says, "How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands—they themselves will be wealthy." (NLT, Psalm 112:1, 3) "If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives." (NLT, Job 36:11)
Who is rich? Those who are happy with their portion.
Generosity is to help a deserving person without his request, and if you help him after his request, then it is either out of self-respect or to avoid rebuke.
