I also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!
(2 Samuel 12:8 NASB)
(2 Samuel 12:8 NASB)
The goodness of God! Wow.
We don't understand it like we should. People fall for this stuff about sowing your seed to get a harvest of money. What?
That's not how its been working for me!
God lavishes His love on me even when I'm not working for it, that's because that's who He is! He's a giving God! (Read Luke chapter 6)
I constantly have seen God bring extra money to me when I'm least expecting it and when I end up needing it the most. God loves His children and looks after us!
God has opened my eyes. He's shown me that American Christians are raised on this false principle that you have to work at sowing seed in order to reap the harvest of blessings.
That's not who He is! He wants to bless us and has already paid the price for us. Wow! This stuff is too good, I don't think you can hear it! He wants us to remain open handed and not tight fisted, but to work for your blessing? No! The only thing He expects of us is to honor His Son by staying clean and not soiling our blood washed robes in this world of sin! To walk in His love before this world.
When you're a sinner, being good is hard work, but when you're a Saint, being good should flow naturally out of that spring of holy living water! That's not work, that's resting in Him.
Blessings will follow you!
You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve both God and money. I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing? Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?
(Matthew 6:24-26 CEV)
