God’s Provides - Maintaining Integrity
Proverbs 16:11 Nlt
S - 11 The Lord demands accurate scales and balances; He sets the standards for fairness.
O - God will not bless you if you are being dishonest - in anything you do.
whether you are an employee or business owner - cheating people is always wrong and you will not go far with your career or company. you may have temporary, and even great success. in your selfishness and evil desires you will forget who is your provider, causing you to want more and do more bad stuff to get ahead. what you can plan on is failing miserably in the end.
i don’t know of anyone who doesn’t want God to bless their finances. in order to do so you have to: a) ask Him for help; b) be content with what you have or get; c) give back - tithes, offerings, donations; d) be sure your integrity is intact - it truly matters.
A - be honest with my finances and trust that regardless of how bad my situation is, Jesus and our Heavenly Father has never left my family and i. need to maintain my integrity and return what is His in my tithes and offerings, and donating when possible.
if i do, here is what His Word tells us will happen - who doesn’t want this for their lives?:
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and he adds no trouble to it." (Proverbs 10:22 NIV)
"It is the Lord's blessing that makes you wealthy." (Proverbs 10:22 TEV)
P - Father God, please continue to work in and on me regarding my finances, my desires, my giving, my integrity, along with my hope in you Lord Jesus. never do i want to waiver nor forget that you are in charge and that the blessings and provisions we receive are from you alone. in Jesus’ mighty name i pray, amen!
