LET GOD CARRY IT – “OUR FINANCES”

Finances, are one of the most thought about matters in our lives. This applies even to Christians. The need for money to meet our daily needs is certainly a matter of concern, and it is a legitimate one. However, money has a strange fascination and an alluring attraction, that makes us want it and love it with all our hearts. This love for money, has the power to draw us into all kinds of problems. 

Let us look at what the Word of God has to say to us as Christians.
– “5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5

A Christian’s faith in God is seen in his conduct. The way we think, speak and do things reveal the faith we have in the LORD Jesus Christ. Our lives are expected to resemble and reflect the LORD Jesus. The close we resemble the LORD Jesus, the greater our faith and obedience. 

The Bible asks us not to covet money, but rather be content with what we have, is an important spiritual principle for every Christian, desiring to walk the Narrow Path, as the disciple of the LORD Jesus. Money, or love for it, or coveting it, or desiring it, will surely and certainly draw us away from the LORD Jesus. Such love for money makes money our god.
– “6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” – 1 Timothy 6:6-10

When we begin to appreciate and love money, our love for the LORD Jesus would wane. The LORD Himself had clearly warned us that, we cannot serve God and riches.
– “24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” – Matthew 6:24-25

The perfect antidote to love of money is to trust God, the LORD who without being asked, chose to die for us on the cross of Calvary. This sacrifice bought our redemption, which is absolutely precious and priceless. Let us not worry about our finances and money we need. God will take care of it. He will provide what we need.
– “25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” – Matthew 6:25
– “30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Matthew 6:30-33

Dear brothers and sisters, let us not be concerned, disturbed or worried about finances. God will take care of it. LET GOD CARRY IT – “OUR FINANCES” and we place our faith in Him who gave us our redemption, which cannot be bought even with all the wealth of this world. Would this God not care for our daily needs?
– “31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” – Romans 8:31-32
