Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. ![]() We reap what we sow, and if we sow nothing, we can’t expect to harvest much of anything. If we do give, we should give according to what we have for some, that might be little, but for others, it could be more, but it should never be nothing. We cannot expect God to pour blessings into our laps if we never give back to the Lord or anyone else. I have counseled a few people about their finances, trying to help them establish a budget, but it seems that those in the biggest financial holes are often the ones that are the least giving or give nothing at all to their church or any charities. Proverbs 3:9-10 “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.” From experience, we should already know that “He is ever lending generously” (Psalm 37:26a). This is significant because it’s a promise of God that He, as their (and your) Father, will take care of His children. ![]() King David may have written this psalm when he was on the run from King Saul, who was trying to kill him, and frequently food and water were scarce, but even so, David knew that the Lord would not forsake him, nor would He suffer His own children to beg for bread. Psalm 37:25 “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.” Philippians 4:19 “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”Īfter you’ve read this verse, ask yourself this: “What are the riches in Christ Jesus according to?” Since Christ is Creator, He owns everything! He not only owns the cattle on a thousand hills…He owns the hills too, but that promise is to supply our every need, and not our every want or desire, but you can rest in the promise that “God will supply every need of yours.” He won’t supply every need according to other people’s riches, but Jesus Christ’s riches! He may use others as a means to do so, but the greatest treasure we receive is that of our salvation.
