"Ask not what GOD can do for YOU but what YOU can do for GOD."

In other words, instead of ASKING God for something all of the time perhaps it's time for you to start GIVING something.

But I'm only poor and I have little or no money to give you might ask! A very honest and understandable question. We seem to have this pre-occupation with money and that everything will be alright if only we had enough money. There is an often mis-quoted phrase from THE BIBLE that states "money is the root of all evil" when the correct phrase is "for the love of money is the root of all evil." Money alone will not cure the world's problems!

You GIVE according to your means and abilities. However much, however little. It doesn't always have to be money of course. It can be your time serving others in whatever capacity you can.

The Hebrew Masoretic text contains verse endings as an important feature. According to the Talmudic tradition, the verse endings are of ancient origin. The Masoretic textual tradition also contains section endings called parashiyot, which are indicated by a space within a line or a new line beginning. The difference of the text reflected in the parashiyot is usually thematic. The parashiyot are not numbered.
