Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-23

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Give and it will be given to us pressed down, shaken together and running over!  Amen.

Many people today are facing financial struggles. They work so hard to just make ends meet.

Some may only have enough for their bills and to put food on their table.

If we were to check on our neighbors that we think are doing so much better than us, we would probably find that they are going through similar things in one way or another.

We are not alone on this journey. Others are so much worse off. If we only knew.

It’s everywhere. Prices are high, and our money doesn’t go as far as it used to.

We are paying double what we used to pay for things, and working harder and longer hours than ever before.

Trusting God in such times is a test for us all.

But God doesn’t tell us to obey His scripture only when times are good and everything is plentiful.

Where would having faith be in doing that?

It is in times like these we need to press in and continue to do the right thing in trusting Him.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Tithing is the first place people will pull back from if things are getting tight or the pressure is on financially.

We know it’s hard to remain steady when we feel the pinch. It’s how our flesh reacts to such things.

However, tithing is the very practice we need to protect and keep pushing through. It is through our tithes and offerings, and giving out of our need, that will pull us through such hard seasons in our lives.

We can attest to this in our own lives many, many times.

We can’t let fear stop us from trusting God.

Keep sowing where God tells you to. Keep being faithful and obeying His Word.

He will come through and it will be measured back to us according to how we have given!

We who need a job, we who need a home, we who are struggling in our finances, or even in our family; we need a breakthrough and deliverance in some areas of our life.

He will come through, no matter how things look. Keep giving to Him in whatever way He leads you to. Don’t pull back because of what we see.

We walk by faith, not by sight. Stand on those promises in His Word! Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-21

1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV) 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.

Money, in and of itself, is not evil. But rather, the love of having it is.

When we get to a point where our money, and the desire for more of it, runs us, then we are in trouble.

How does our money control us?

When we don’t give, and when we hold back from God, keeping what is not ours, then we are likely being controlled by our money.

There is an amount of our money that God asks us to give back to Him.

Malachi 3:8 (NJKV) 8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.

That amount is 10 percent of our pay, or anything that comes into our hands. He gets that first and foremost.

Then He asks us to give offerings from time to time.

This is something that is typically spur of the moment. It just happens.

We will be somewhere doing something, and we will hear Him; “Give to this situation, or give to that person. Pay for their groceries, or help them with their mortgage. Pay for their meal tonight. Buy them some clothes. Give them gas money”.

These are a few of the things that we have heard at times.

God requires us all to be givers. He wants us to be ready to open up our pocket and give at any time that He leads us to do so.

Don’t love money more than we love God. Doing so will make us miserable and we will often lose most of what we have.

Be obedient with our money, and see what God will do for us. He loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NJKV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-20

Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV) 25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

Have you ever heard the saying, “what goes around, comes around”?

It’s true, and it’s a Biblical principle!

Some people may not like to give credit to God for this simple truth. They may attach other names to it, like karma, etc. Regardless, though, it is something that God put into motion in the very beginning.

This is a very simple principle; you get what you give. And this truth can apply to every aspect of our lives.

If we give kindness, we will reap kindness. If we give joy, we will reap joy. If we give of our finances, we will reap financially. If we give mercy, we will be shown mercy. And the list could go on infinitely.

The most important thing we need to remember is that this is not a tool that we use for personal gain. We don’t give just to get. Our heart and our motive needs to be right.

But be sure that God’s word is true. He never lies. So, if we expect to be blessed in any way at all, we also need to be giving in that very same way.
