Support your own ministry like Paul. (Acts 20:33-34)

You know that these hands of mine have worked to supply my own needs and even the needs of those who were with me. 


Paul was satisfied with whatever he had, wherever he was, as long as he could do God's work. Examine your attitudes toward wealth and comfort. If you focus more in what you don't have than on what you do have, it's time to reexamine your priorities and put God's work back in first place. 
 
Paul was a tent maker, and he supported himself with this trade. Paul worked not in order to become rich, but to be free from being dependent on anyone. He supported himself and others who traveled with him.
