Leaving Your Financial Wilderness

~ Leaving Your Financial Wilderness ~
One’s instinct to survive goes against giving all, as if we’d lose all that’s left And, whatever we think we possess is just a figment of our imagination Yet, we cling to it for dear life
Consider conscious choices you’ve made Didn’t you think they were yours? Truth is, every thought keeping us separate from God is based upon a lie Logic, not given us by the Spirit, is based upon misplaced faith Apart from God, we are not even in our right minds They are not our thoughts at all, but Satan’s planting!
Giving all is not throwing everything out the window Neither is it about being good enough It is a choice, of the heart, to choose God and His direction, in all things
Perhaps you want a new sofa, but would have to charge it So, you seek God, who reminds you of scripture to not owe any man
Do you kick and scream about your wants? Or, have you, yet, been burned enough that, if God isn’t in it, you already know you don’t want it?
Choose God Soon, someone may be giving away their sofa Just think of the financial bondage you will have averted!
Perhaps you want a special blouse But, there is greater need to pay bills God knows your furnace will be going out next week and you will, otherwise, come up short Will you argue? Or, are you finished with being on the losing end?
Suppose it is the end of the month and your glasses break You can not do without them So, you place your faith in your charge card Right?
Is there no God? Did you even stop to ask His way? Perhaps new lenses would fit in your old pair of glasses But, you never thought of that! Well, it could be because you didn’t ask
Ok, so, perhaps, you would prefer another option Maybe someone, long forgotten, will return money owed to you Just do not short change God
These are only some of the steps of faith we may take, knowing that only God knows the way out of our financial wilderness And, in such, He helps us to become stronger with each step we take; growth, later, proving to have been beneficial to our calling
Eventually, we come to realize God cares about everything we care about and He is trustworthy to do the most loving thing possible And, once we finally realize it all belongs to Him, we discover He owns it all!
