As I woke up this morning, something itself to be thankful for, preparing my breakfast toast. I had this glimpse of other people getting up somewhere in this world, just like I am at that time. And I thought: "Isn't it amazing that there others in this world doing the same I do. Getting up, making breakfast and so on. It just gave me a sense of how big this world is and how much we are still connected. So, it sparked my longing to go out there and make a difference.
Then, I checked my bank account, well yes one has to do that every once in a while. Just to see that I had abundance left after paying all the bills. It made me feel like Simon Peter, who fell to his feet after catching the miraculous amount of fish. I was thankful. It sank in then, that I had overcome the spirit of poverty completely. God had delivered me from fear of not having enough and relying completely on myself in regard of money and what I could bring to the table. Delivered from the lies of the enemy that I would never have enough. When we die to our flesh and allow God to take over our lives, He creates the most beautiful life for us.
Being able to see God's faithfulness in this matter is amazing. I do not have to spend every dollar I have on me. I can give first to the Kingdom (Matthew 6) and then God will ad everything onto my life, what I have need of. And make my cup overflowing (Psalm 23)
This freedom is so amazing!.
Now, I can freely give here and abroad, knowing that my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and Glory in Christ Jesus. And I shall NOT want.
Coming back to the first part of my blog today: I can now distribute the money God provides for me in Missions here and abroad. And that is exciting to me. And hopefully, get to go in person too and have breakfast somewhere else in this world. :)
My prayer today is: Father, deliver us from evil! Restore our trust in Your faithfulness and instruct us how and to whom to give.
Until next time, good bye and farewell.
