Godly Pleasure is Better than Personal Pleasure

Everything above nothing is a gift from God. Just let that sink in before you keep reading.
If that is true, which it is, then what is everything, and what do we do with it? The everything we receive from God can fall into three different categories: time, talents, and treasure (money).
What do we do with all of that everything? We manage them, we are stewards of what God has given us.
Time is not spent doing what we want to do. It is spent pursuing the things that give God worth, that proclaim Him worthy. Our talents are not used for personal gain, or personal pleasure. We didn't give ourselves the abilities and talents that we posses, they are a gift from God. They are to be used for His purpose. So, when we are asked why we are so gifted or talented, it’s a one word answer.
God.
Now, the hardest of all to manage, and not lay claim to. Money. We are to tithe back to Him 10% of our income. That’s it, that’s all we have to give Him, 10%. But, what if our minds always remembered that the 100% is a gift from Him. Then, how would our purchases, savings, and budgeting be different?
So, however you spend your time, talents, and money, do it for the glory of God. -1 Corinthians 10:31 (paraphrased)
Is what pleases you, pleasing God?
