Money Matters (1/15)-How Valuable Are We?

Matthew 6:26- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

The song by Swith Foot, We Were Ment To Live, comes to mind when I read this verse. My grasp of this verse is simple! We are God’s creation and hence children of God, with the capacity to do great things; We were meant to live for so much more! Yet sometimes we get into this state of mind where we forget our maker, we forget that the things we have been bless with belong not to us, but to the Lord. All things are His. He can easily give and take away but the one thing that is promised, is that he will take care of you! Are we not more valuable then the birds of the sky? Their heavenly father feeds them, how much more for us?

Guys, one of the things about moolah is you have to accept that the monetary blessings that come are from the lord and he has presented you with a moment in your life where you will be tried, tested, or blessed. Money can be a blessing but it can also be a test in disguise. In either case make sure you knowledgeable Christ in all this because, ultimately, may God be glorified!

There is one thing that I keep in mind every day. Personally, I believe that this help me to think more optimistically about things then most folks out there. God is in control! Whatever life my bring, whatever financial burden I may encounter, I always remember that no matter what, there is one thing that can not be taken from me, and that is my joy in Christ.

The Lord will be there for you, you can count on it! As long as you seek for Him.

P.S. Tomorrow I will share my thoughts on 1 Chronicles 29.

Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me it’s amazing!
