Trust in the Lord
A great many Christians are experientially learning what they have known in their heads—we are so utterly dependent on the Lord.
Be faithful to tithe and give offerings—not lightly, but holding your dependence upon and faith in Jesus before you as the alms of Cornelius came before Him. A phenomena is hitting many good churches I preach for which I find rather unique—mature believers who have been groomed by the Lord to make disciples and support ministry are leaving.
There seems to be a corporate sigh, “I just can’t do this anymore; I’m tired. I don’t know what to do; this isn’t what I expected!”
The same churches are filling up with new folks who don’t know anything about walking in faith—many are poor and the laborers are not there to assist the pastors. I know of two churches that are full who may have to close their doors for lack of funds, serving leaders doing all they know to do.
Please be faithful to support your local churches and to seek God about support outside your church. I believe we should even give to unbelievers!
Remember these verses from Habakkuk, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! The Lord God is my Strength, my Personal Bravery, and my Invincible Army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me walk [not stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!”—Habakkuk 3: 18-19
God bless you all—let the Spirit of Jesus Christ move through you to touch the world around you.
