Wealth is given by God


Deuteronomy 8: 17 AMP

 “Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’”

Wealth is given to us by God. I am grateful for the gifts I receive from God. I know that God is busy working something out for me. No good thing will God keep away from me.

Today I commit all my thoughts and my work into the hands of God. He is preparing the way for me. Nothing I do or say can change my circumstances but only God.

I think of the Israelites when they left Egypt. They did not leave empty handed but with pockets filled with gold and silver. The Egyptians gave it to them. The also went to a land filled with milk and honey. I have something in my hand. God is using this to bless me.

Prayer

O LORD, thank You, for the gifts You give to me each and every day. I am so grateful for Your blessings. I also realise that I cannot do anything on my own. With You, I can face each day and I praise Your Holy Name. Amen

The Word for Today:
Deuteronomy 8: 18  AMP, “But you shall remember [with profound respect] the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you the power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly) to your fathers, as it is this day.”

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
