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.
