Consider what money really is- a medium of exchange. It really goes beyond that simple definition. It is a store of value which will allow you to buy future goods and services as the need arises. There are other assets which represent a store of value as well. Land, houses, collectibles, and investments store value as long as there is demand to purchase them when you are ready to convert their value into money. The problem is that we do not know the future valuation of assets and there is no guarantee that those assets will retain their current value. An asset is only worth what the market is willing to pay on the day of the sale.
Trust in money is destined for failure. Trust in FATHER is destined for success in life. Where will you put your trust? I have made that choice and have chosen to trust in FATHER for HE is the only One Who is not restricted by time and resources. Yes, we all need to prepare for the future based on our current revelation but we must not hoard in response to fear of the unknown.
In Proverbs chapter 3, Wisdom spoke:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
If FATHER instructs you concerning your finances, you can be assured that your path will be one of blessing. FATHER is not opposed to us having funds as long as the funds don’t rule us. Those of us who invest in the Kingdom will receive Heavenly returns on investment. Those who invest according to the world’s wisdom are subject to the weakness/fragility associated with the world system. In Matthew 6 Jesus spoke:
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Money is a medium by which blessing can be transported from one individual to another. Jesus promoted the Truth of going about doing business until He returns. Let us be productive and produce good fruit on behalf of the Kingdom and look at money as simply a “commodity” for future distribution rather than something to hoard due to uncertainty of the future. Let FATHER take care of the future by instructing us in HIS Wisdom today.
