Facing the Giant of MoneyУзорак

## God wants to meet your financial needs ### ‘You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion.’ 2 Corinthians 9:11 NIV When you give to fulfill the Lord’s Prayer, ‘Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth’ (Matthew 6:10 KJV), He will make sure you have everything you need when you need it. That’s His guarantee, and it should dispel your fears about giving. In fact, there’s really only one thing you should be concerned about when it comes to giving: holding back to the extent that God is no longer involved in your finances. There’s nothing you can do to earn or deserve God’s love, but you must exercise faith and follow His instructions if you want to walk in His blessing. So here’s the question you should ask yourself: ‘Who’s better able to meet my needs, God or me?’ If you’re generous with God, He’ll make sure you have more than enough so that you can continue to be generous. But first He wants to see you investing more in His kingdom - not in order to get what you want from Him, but because you value His eternal purposes more than your own interests. Are you prepared to step out in faith and take advantage of the law of the harvest by inviting God to get involved in your finances? Money is often the last door we open to God because we think it represents our security. If you really want to become secure financially, get God involved in your finances as soon as possible. The sooner you start sowing seeds, the sooner you’ll begin reaping harvests. And when that happens, you’ll never go back to doing things the way you used to. #### Prayer Point: Lord, You have promised that if I put You first, everything else I need will be added to me. You have already given Your Son to be my Saviour, so I know You will not withhold any good thing from me. Help me to realise that my security rests in You rather than in what I possess. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Acknowledgement: Stanley, Andy, Fields of Gold, (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale, 2006).
