God And Your Money (3)
May 20, 2020
‘Help in time of need.’ Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
When you have a spiritual, physical, relational, or financial need, God says He will meet it. But some of us have a hard time believing this. After all, Jesus condemned the rich man for overlooking the poor man sitting on his doorstep. And God hasn’t changed His position on that issue.
Jesus told the story of a man so busy making money that he had no time for God. ‘But God said to him, “You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?” Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.’ (Luke 12:20–21 NLT) And He hasn’t changed positions on that issue either.
Jesus threw the money-changers out of the temple because they were ripping people off. He went so far as to call them ‘a den of thieves.’ (Mark 11:17 NKJV)
Does that mean God is interested in meeting our spiritual needs but not our material ones? Let’s be clear; your spiritual needs should always be your highest priority, but let’s allow the Scriptures to speak for themselves. When it comes to God and your money, Jesus said: ‘Don’t worry about these things, saying, “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.’ (Matthew 6:31–33 NLT)
Note the word ‘everything’. When you’re in right standing with God, you can pray with confidence and ask Him to bless you in all things!
