Good morning.
Have you ever felt that there is too much month left at the end of the money? Most of us have felt this way some time or other.
Not withstanding our personal affairs, we work ourselves to the bone sothat we can have what we so much desire. And when all is said and done who hasn’t spent a time pursuing wealth or pleasure, only to discover that they’re worth far less than what we gave up to achieve them?
I, Mike, am reminded of the story about a rich man who made plans to build larger barns but lost sight of what truly mattered. Jesus understands that things like food, shelter, and clothing are important. However, He wants us first to seek something greater - the kingdom of God.
We don’t have to do without when we choose to pursue the Lord. Far from it! Promises of abundance fill God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation. And Scripture teaches that if we give freely of our blessings instead of clinging to them, we’ll gain far more. Jesus assured us that this type of generosity would result in “a good measure” being poured into our lap, “pressed down, shaken together, and running over” (Luke 6:38).
We, and many others, have found that putting God first with our finances is the antidote to too much month at the end of the money. God wants to bless each of us beyond our dreams.
Have a wonderful day.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
