Teaching about Money & Possessions

I was always blessed with making a good living; however, when things turned around for me in September of 2008 a few friends questioned my sanity given my experience. Somehow I was making less, but still living my life as usual. I am not sure if my friends understood how I could be so content with life as it is and with my answer to that question because I simply summed it up for those who inquired: I am not worried about money; my faith in God alone is what keeps me going each day. I will just continue to work hard as usually and I know some day I will be rewarded for my genuine efforts. If you don't understand where I am coming from and how I solely rely on the Lord, read Matthew 6:19-34. As a matter-of-fact, read Matthew chapter 1 through 7 when you get a chance. 

Whether you're rich, poor or somewhere in between, know that God takes care of ALL his children. And you don't have to be perfect to be a child of God FYI. Just remember to keep all of His laws and principles in your heart. I mention this because after a disagreement with an associate, I referenced some teachings of the bible that I always try to keep in mind regardless of who is right or wrong. My thoughts in doing so were to rectify the situation and move forward. The response I received instead was one of which mocked me and the teachings that I received from the bible. But it's okay because Jesus told the Beatitudes at the sermon on the mountainside (Matthew 5:11) that God blesses you where you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are his followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted too.

Hopefully after this, anyone who reads this blog entry will be inspired like how I have been. 

Have a great & safe weekend!

    I enjoyed reading that. It was well put together as usual and your heart is in the right place. Always remember, when the truth goes forth, the ones in darkness will be the ones yelling to loudest about the things you wrote. Because it is foolishness to them who have not truly accepted Jesus Christ in their lives.
