Financial hardships # 2
June 10, 2022
M Scripture is not a prosperity gospel. Embrace God and get rich. Consider Paul, a scholar, a Pharisee, a man who could do business with his crowd. Until Christ confronted him. He gave it all up. Embracing Jesus meant you got kicked our of the inner circle, including business dealings.
V He became a tent maker to provide for himself on his travels. He spent his last years in prison, cold, hungry and in his own words, contented. He learned to be contented whether he had much or little. The foundational truth here is that the treasure of knowing Jesus for who He is matters more than any professional status, income generating plan, more than anything.
M Every Christ follower can be contented.
