Matthew 7:7-12

Tells us that if we ask we will receive, if we seek we will find, and if we knock it shall be opened to us. Therefore whatever you want others to do for you, do so for them. In other words, if you have a need and you have $2.00 but need $20.00 then find someone that needs $2.00 and give it to them, and see what God will do for you.

 

i am around a lot of people Christians and non-Christians, people who go to church and those who don’t, one thing i have noticed about people and money, is that the Christian and even the non-Christian who goes to church spend more time talking about how little money they have.

 

Money seems to be an obsession for most, always talking about how little they have, one example: a family of four say they are Christians every visits with them the husband and wife both will bring up how they can’t do something because they just don’t have the money. Four month ago he received a $20.00 dolor an hour raise he works for a large company and is a key figure in the company, they let it slip that he now makes over $160.00 an hour and get an average of 6 hours of overtime a week plus benefits. That’s over 347,000 a year without the overtime, and about 24% more them my wife and i get each month (didn’t realize just how broke i was, that’s sarcasm) And they still bring up that they are pore and don’t have enough. (They are pore for they have not given their lives and money over to the Lord and. They have all the toys, he is an avid hunter, she has her hair dune every week, the kids get just about everything they want the cost; they are always going on trips. Just last month were complaining because they weren’t going to have the money to go see someone they knew 164 miles from their home, but then called and were talking about driving 220 miles to have some work dune on their car, oil change new belts and hoses, and they stayed in a motel for two night wall it was being dune.

 

Another guy every conversation eventually comes around to how little he has and can’t afford to do anything but about every six week is making a 850 mile trip to see friends he is in church every Sunday, talks the talk but does not walk the walk.

 

i get so tired of hearing this from Christians especially, it shows such a lake of faith in Christ and a total unbelief in the word of Christ in the bible, cant imagen how disturbing this must be to the Lord

 

On Sunday; Ho Lord we love you we trust you we believe your word Monday through Saturday; I need, I need, I want, I want, I just don’t have enough wow is me I’m a victim.

 

Sickening Contentment, being satisfied comes from knowing who Christ is and who you are in Him. If you truly know these two things your life is never in want or need of anything other than His love, protection and provision.

 

So all you who are out there who call your selves Christians but don’t think you have enough all i can say is go find the Lord He is waiting for you with open arms.

 

i do have one friend who truly hold no value on worldly things, i found that his total income in an average month is $650.00, he is always dressed nice, he is always clean, won’t hesitate to help anyone who is really in need, without payback. He will not invite you to his home, and he never talks of money, have never seen him down, and his wife is a real butte, and always has a real smile on her face. They grow and can their own food, their cellar is almost as big as their home the home is a total of 220 square feet and she has if fixed up nicer than some 3,000 foot houses i have been in, they use an composting toilet, and shower in a leanto he built on the side of their home which started out as a tool shed and storage.

They hall there water in every week in gallon jugs around 200 gallons a week.

 

i found this out when i showed up to help put some roofing on that I heard had gotten blow off, I have never heard either one of them compline about anything, but rather they both thank the Lord for what they do have. Rejoicing in all things

 

so quiet complaining, quiet acting like a victim find out who Christ really is and who you are in Him, and ask for the tings of the Lord not the things of this world. No one can do it for you, you have to make that choice on your own and then move forward.
