God's design is that as we grow (in grace & knowledge) we increase (in resources) so that we always know what to do with what we have. Knowing God is gloried when HIS creation flourished, we work for the flourishing of others out of gratitude and a desire to spread HIS glory throughout the earth. Psalm 92:12-15 says the righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
