No one can serve two masters...You cannot serve God and money - Matthew 6:24


I've found that the times when I'm near broke are the times I grow the best in God. Yes, Im usually not happy that my bank account is so low, but each time my prayer gets a little stronger and I am able to withstand a little better each time.

I am thankful that I am able to run to Him like a true Father and be comforted. And the best part is that He always comes through for our needs. For instance a check will come right on time, or a family member will drop by unexpectedly with something we needed. He is so good to us.
I know I need not despair in times like these, however the stresses of life and especially putting moving in the mix really can grate ones will down to nothing. It really is true however that man cannot serve two masters. If he serves money, then he is serving the World which is not of Gods will. If you serve God, then money seems no object to covet and is there for only surviving in the world and God provides the rest.

How easy a concept, and yet how hard!!! I really admire those people who have their full faith and trust in letting Him provide. I am working on it, and through His grace I am starting to understand it, but I still struggle.
