Many years ago, I came across a very interesting article called "Giving and Getting" by Paul Stark Seeley. While the world encourages getting of all things material, the Bible only requires our getting understanding.
You can find the article at Reading Rooms in the Christian Science Sentinel of 26th September 1923 or at http://sentinel.christianscience.com/issues/1923/9/26-1/giving-and-getting.

Eugene Petersen's "the Message" offers a beautiful rendition of Matthew 6:33 - "What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with GETTING, so you can respond to God's GIVING." Readers will enjoy Steve Cole's "Surprise me" in the August 19, 2013 edition of The Christian Science Sentinel.
