God sees
May 28, 2019
M I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money.
M Financial transparency is a debated topic. The IRS requires that we reveal all.
V One danger of lack of transparency is our human nature to use money and things for our purposes, temptations, and self gratification. One protection is to know that God sees all. Job is full of references to the reality that God sees all. He sees not only where we spend that dollar, but why. For example, Scripture says provide for the poor and needy, not to enable them but to help them through that season.
M Our culture tempts us to use finances and gifts to get something in return. Resist that, pray before we give and ask God to reveal to us our motivations.
