Survival
March 12, 2019
2019 finds some families in financial survival mode. Jobs are increasing yet some are underemployed and still struggling. Financial survival is a God honoring goal. Jesus instructed us to pray for our daily bread, families are instructed to provide for their own. Usually consistent effort, and biblical planning eventually lead to financial freedom. Through it all, remember that God treasures small sacrificial gifts. The widow who gave two mites is an honored model throughout history. Others gave more, some gave with a grudge, some gave for show. She likely gave while merely surviving. And I imagine she felt like a God blessed, wealthy woman.
So while you struggle to survive, remember that it is all God’s. He’ll show you how to bless others with what he’s given you.
