Financial GPS

It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.
Russian Proverb (Sayings of Russian origin)

Deut 8:18-20
"But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. "It shall come about if you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish. "Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God. NASU

Charitable giving has decreased by a large amount as of lately. Some have begun to cut back on what they have given to the Lord to put gas in their cars, or to maintain their life styles, or other things that have placed them under a financial burden. It is interesting to read in God’s Word of the triggers that money has pulled over the course of Christian history, and it is worth reading again.

For us to cut back on what we are giving to the Lord’s work is to place a knife to our own throat. A casual look at our financial ledgers, may tell us if we are spiritually inclined or materially motivated. Today is a time for Christians take a hard look at their spiritual roadmap and consider if they are on the right road. They may have taken a turn that has gotten them off track, and need help to get back on God’s path.

Well a good GPS can help you, that is; God’s, Positioning ,Spirit, He will help you to get back on the right road. We should be cutting back on our pleasures and increasing our giving to reach out to a lost world during this downturn. This downturn is our turn to show the world what is valuable to us. It is plainly visible. Are we acting just like them or are we walking in faith, knowing that everything is ours, in Christ…God Bless.
