DON’T LOOSE YOUR CREDIT CARD
Everyone loves a buffet!
There are many REASONS for liking it but the most common ones are that you get a lot of choices, you can have as much of it as you want and no one will stop you.
This is great but thank God we don’t go to a buffet every day or I suspect we would pack the pounds on.
In the Lords prayer in Matt.6:11, Jesus said, “Give us this day our daily bread.”
“Bread” is a symbol word that stands for all our physical needs.
In Elmer Towns book, “Praying the Lord’s Prayer for spiritual breakthrough”, he has a list of five essential facts about our daily needs.
- We have daily needs.
- God supplies our needs.
- We must ask God to supply our needs.
- Our needs are supplied one day at a time.
- We don’t have to pray for everything, but we have to pray about everything.
For our physical well-being, we eat, exercise and sleep.
God designed us to have needs in our lives so we would look to him to SUPPLY them.
He made those needs in us so when we stray away from Him, those needs make them turn back to HIM.
He did not create you to be self-sufficient.
Are you the type of person who EXPECTS your spouse to provide your every need?
I have spoke with Christian wives who have told me through the years that their husbands tell them to get a job that makes more money because he wants to buy more.
Mahatma Ghandi once said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.”
We want to leave a financial legacy for our children thinking it’s our resources that they need the most.
Ask of God because he may use FINANCES to keep our children focused on him as they grow older.
In the United States, food is plentiful and you may not need to ask.
So why are we given this PATTERN to ask anyway?
Prov.30:9 “Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say who is the Lord? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of the Lord in vain.”
One good reason is that God wants you and your spouse to acknowledge that it is Him who is providing for you.
We are commanded to ask for our NEEDS according to Gods will.
The Bible calls the ants “Exceedingly wise” because they do not worry but they prepare.
Prov.30:24-25 “The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer.”
It is all right to prepare but it is sin to worry.
God wants your “shopping list” of needs so don’t rely on your credit cards.
Credit card usage is using up tomorrow’s bread.
Don’t use credit cards unless you are paying them off monthly.
YOU ARE USING TOMORROW’S BREAD AND THAT IS SIN!!
Learn to be content with the finances God has placed in your hand.
