I am someone who tends to be rather anxious when it comes to money. I try to be generous and trust that God will provide all that I need, but i often find myself crunching the numbers to see if I have enough for whatever the need. Recently God has been challenging me to be bold in my giving and fervently trust Him for financial provision.
Friends of mine who are in full-time ministry needed money for Visas to allow them to come back to Australia. I had money stashed away in a high interest account that I was intending to add to and use for expenses in Thailand. It wasn't much, but I felt God say "You need to give every cent you have". I wondered how I would pay for my accommodation and vaccinations, but believed I needed to wholeheartedly TRUST my God to provide. He promises in his Word that He will give me all I need.
And provide He has. Last week I got a cheque in the mail from my elderly Pop for almost ten times what I had given!
What a magnificent reward for my minute, mustard seed-sized faith. I pray that it continues to grow as I live in the fuit of God's faithfulness.
"I tell you the truth. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there', and it will move. Nothing will be imposible for you."
[Matthew 17:20]
