Blessed!

God works in truly amazing ways. One of them through blessings. I have been really convicted lately of how I spend my money and God has pressed upon my heart the need to be faithful to tithe and to support fellow Christians as well as love those who do not know Christ through my giving. And while giving does not mean simply giving of our money, it is a part of it. And a part that I have felt convicted to work on. The Bible tells us in Luke 12:27-28, “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!” The news about the economy is bleak, but we serve a God who is bigger than all that and I believe will provide if we are being faithful. As I have given outside my means at times I have seen God provide in ways I could not imagine. He provided a car after mine was totaled. and He is daily providing funds for my trip to Africa. I need to raise $5,000 and I am almost 2/5 of the way there! It is humbling and awe-inspiring. The more that is being given to me, the more that I feel compelled to give to others. And the more I am blessed by God.

So give more than you think you can and watch God do more than you ever thought He would!
