In our couples bible study on Tuesday nights, we have been talking about what the bible says about finances. Last week was focused on contentment and this week was God’s Provision. How God will provide for you.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
As long as you are in God’s will, He will provide what you need. Again, I said need, not wants. We have in our mind that we need a lot of material things and yet we don’t. We can do without all the little extras. We don’t need to keep up with the “Jones'”. We need to simplify our life and get back to the basics.
19And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
I am so happy that our church decided to start the couples bible study. It is just what my husband and I needed. Being able to talk with others about being happy and content and seeing others live this way has been a real eye opener. Don’t get me wrong, we have been talking about simplifying for a while now. We have just started putting our words into action. The results from doing this has been amazing. When we go through our belongings, we ask ourselves what we don’t need, but who else could use the item. We are able to bless other families in need!
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
We have also started getting our finances in order. We have made many mistakes in the past with our money and are now looking to get out of debt. It is a day to day process and we are learning to put our complete faith in God. As all of the scriptures say, He will provide. God doesn’t lie, He keeps His promises.
If you are having problems, go to God. He will take care of you and your needs. I can promise you that!!
