Money, and the responsibility of obtaining it and spending it wisely is an unavoidable part of life. In our family I happen to pay the bills and organize the budget. Stephanie used to but we have changed roles over the years in this. For now she and I are both happier with me doing the bills. The Lord has helped me to create a schedule and a budget that is way beyond my "natural inclination". With His help I actually enjoy paying the bills and taking care of the family in this way. Jesus can make anything pleasurable. The point of life is to do it all with Him. I believe He is leading my family and I into a new place with money. We are coming out of the land of youthful naivety. We are heading into a place of maturity and real adulthood. :) gheesh. :) Just in time for my mid-life crisis sports car, hair plugs, and expensive shades. ha
This verse speaks to me today and gives us great promise.
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generositye]">[e] in you. 11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.
I believe God supplies all my needs. I believe God is increasing our ability in our finances so that we can be even more generous to others in need. I LOVE giving money to people who need it. I love hearing God tell me to GIVE something away. How fun to obey the Lord when He wants to bless someone. Nothing quite like it.
So Lord bring it on. Bring it on is my prayer today! Bring on the financial wisdom and discipline. Bring on the budget! Yes, I just prayed that. Bring on the discipline so you can then unleash the blessing that I can freely share with others in need. All for YOUR GLORY.
How will not fear; I'm going to check the mail.
