Inasmuch as they receive more than is needful for their necessities and their wants, it shall be given into my storehouse;
Doctrine & Covenants 70:7,12,14
He who is appointed to administer spiritual things, the same is worthy of his hire, even as those who are appointed to a stewardship to administer in temporal things;
In your temporal things you shall be equal, and this not grudgingly, otherwise the abundance of the manifestations of the Spirit shall be withheld.
Those who are called to full time perpetual callings are to be provided for abundantly—they should not be concerned about meeting their temporal needs—but they are also to return any excess to the storehouse so none should be living extravagantly on the resources of the church.
The reason for an abundant provision is to open the doors for abundant spiritual manifestations.
I’m confident that I would thrive under those circumstances.
