In God We Trust? | Week Two

I’m sorry I love you.

I’m sorry, I love you.

A woman without her man is nothing.

A woman: without her, man is nothing.

Let’s eat, Grandma.

In God we trust?
In God we trust!

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Matthew 6:33

My use of money reveals what I love. 

My heart will always follow my money. 

How do I lead my heart towards God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness? 

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness, how deep is that darkness!  Matthew 6:22-23

“No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24 

“Get up, go to Zarephath that belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman who is a widow to provide for you there.” So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup and let me drink.” As she went to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.”

But she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I don’t have anything baked—only a handful of flour in the jar and a bit of oil in the jug. Just now, I am gathering a couple of sticks in order to go prepare it for myself and my son so we can eat it and die.”

Then Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son, for this is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.’”

So she proceeded to do according to the word of Elijah. Then the woman, Elijah, and her household ate for many days. The flour jar did not become empty, and the oil jug did not run dry, according to the word of the Lord he had spoken through Elijah.

1 Kings 17:8-16

How would you describe your view of money? 

False Security

Fearful 

Faithful 

Trusting God does not always lead to giving, but giving will lead to trusting.
