In 50 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover the essential question Paul asked the Lord while he was traveling to Damascus: "What shall I do, Lord?" Have you ever asked yourself, "What difference am I making with my life?" On some level, we all struggle to find our own answer to that fundamental question.

This devotional examines God’s attitude toward lack and the believer’s responsibility in responding to it. Scripture reveals that lack is not God’s intention, poverty is not a measure of spiritual worth, and generosity is central to Christian life. Drawing from Eden, Christ’s ministry, the early church, and apostolic teaching, we learn that God responds to lack with provision, dignity, action, responsibility, and grace—and calls His people to mirror His response faithfully.
