Being faithful with our time and money

TAs Christians, we know that God is our provider and that we need to trust, give ourselves, and rest in Him. But one of these days, I was thinking about two specific things that we need to trust to God: our time and our money.

Time

Don’t let your chores or work rob you of time with God. You won’t be more productive if you skip church or your prayer time. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Equip yourself with the Word of God, then go to work, and do your chores or whatever else you have to do.

Money

Be faithful in tithing. Give with joy. Many years ago, l struggled to be faithful in this area, but l asked God to teach me to give joyfully, and He immediately did it. This was one of my first experiences with God. For three consecutive days, He used different people and situations to teach me the blessing of being faithful in tithing. At the end of the third day, I was like, 'Okay, God, I got it, fine. I'm totally convinced’. Since then, I give with so much joy in my heart, and our 'barns' have overflowed with all kinds of blessings.

There is a mystery in obeying and trusting. God multiplies your income by not letting your car break down, or by avoiding an accident where you would have to spend a lot of money. Of course, we’re not supposed to obey just to seek His blessings. The Lord knows the motivation of our hearts.

It is a sweet mystery, where our part is just to trust, give, and rest.

As we read in Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ : “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
