Money to Burn

For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. -Psalm 50:10

We have a storehouse in heaven for all our. . . needs that far outweighs any earthly fortune. God owns everything. We are simply stewards of the abundant blessings He chooses to bestow. Our heavenly Father has unlimited resources, and like the birds of the air and flowers of the field, He provides for our every need. How reassuring to claim the truth in Matthew 6:8, "Do not be like them, for our Father knows what you need before you ask Him."

When your checkbook balance makes you anxious, do you worry and fret, or do you run to the Creator God for help? If you are living in obedience to His Word, you can trust Him to be there for you. That doesn't mean you'll receive every "bell and whistle" on the market or every "extra" for your home that you desire, but He does promise to provide for our needs if we follow the truths in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Lord, you are a great and mighty God! Open my eyes to see the many blessings you've already given me and help me to trust in you for every financial need we have in the future. Amen.
