Good Morning!! We live in a "stuff"
driven world, where it doesn’t matter what, or how much we possess,...
where it's never enough!, there is always something else to want. We're told that the more we have, the more successful we are! We frantically accumulate materialistic idols and false gods, to which we sacrifice our time, health, happiness and peace. Greed has become the driving force behind almost everything we do in life,...and is an unrelenting enemy of contentment.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."—Luke 6:38 (NIV)
Father God, we lay down everything we are,...and everything we have at Your feet. We want our lives to make a difference, for and in eternity. But Lord, we are so greedy. we cling to our possessions, and stockpile life resources. Today, we choose to become Kingdom livers, and givers! Help us to give with joy, and invest in others,...what You've invested in us. We love You! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."—Luke 6:38 (NIV)
We all want to live a life of "enjoyment",...but money alone won't get it. We must not only recognize money for what it is,.. a resource loaned to
us by God,...but we must also adhere to the absolute principle that when
it comes to financial gain, our only responsibility is to manage and
disperse that resource well. We want to make a difference, we want our lives to really count. But, in order to live a life that matters, a life of "enjoyment", we must
not only understand Kingdom living, but Kingdom giving as well. Everything we are or have belongs to God, and comes straight from His heart of perfect provision.
It is His hand that opens the door of opportunity. It's His plan that
orchestrates the minutes and circumstances of each day to accomplish His Will in our surrendered lives. It's His perfect gift of Jesus Christ that made a way for unholy people, to enjoy an intimate relationship with a Holy God.
The reality is that our Father wants us to have wealth,...we just have to be careful not to settle for money!
"If we don't believe, or struggle to believe, we are doubters.
But it's not that doubters simply don't believe,...it's that they don't really trust"
But it's not that doubters simply don't believe,...it's that they don't really trust"
