Shalom,

I just want to share a few Scriptures concerning finances for those who may be concerned over the current economic situation in this nation:

Ps 37:25-26 KJV
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

Remember that the righteous are those who are in right standing with God the Father through the Blood of Jesus Christ. If you have received Jesus of Nazareth as your Lord and personal Saviour, then you ARE righteous! Right now, wherever you are, you ARE righteous. You have the RIGHT to go boldly into the presence of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible, the God of Heaven, as though you've never done anything wrong! Hallelujah! What freedom we have in Him! Now you can confess these Scriptures to encourage yourself in the Lord. Don't allow worry, guilt or fear to get a grip in your life. Remember:

2 Tim 1:7 AMP
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.


Our Heavenly Father wants us to walk totally free from guilt, fear and condemnation. Look to God as your source of supply and have confidence in Him, NOT in the world system of finance. They've already proven that they can't handle the money!

Now that was speaking about our daily provision. If you want to walk in Divine prosperity, you need to be a tither and a giver (over and above the tithe). We'll look at what the Word of God has to say about that subject in our next post. In the meantime, stop worrying and fretting. Remember that the Word of God says:


Matt 6:25-33 AMP
25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?
27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? [Ps 39:5-7.]
28 And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin.
29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. [1 Kings 10:4-7.]
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides
.

Keep seeking Him and put your faith, trust and confidence in His Word and you will ALWAYS come out on top!

Shalom in Him!
