Point 1:  Assess what you need from God 2 Samuel 24: 21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” “To buy your threshing floor,” David answered, “so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped.”

Point 2:  You get what you pay for 2 Samuel 24:22, 23 - 22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take whatever he wishes and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. 23 Your Majesty, Araunah gives all this to the king.” Araunah also said to him, “May the Lord your God accept you.”

Then we do one of three things when our half blessings come.

1. Pout… Fold our arms and withdraw ourselves from God… Don't speak, spend time or share ourselves.

Example Cain

2. Hide...from God what we have

Matthew 25:25 - so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’

3. Get... jealous of others. Matthew 20:9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.
