I am moving back to my Blog Spot blog because my Wix account is not updating my pay. For some reason, my card won't accept payment through that site.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my debit card accepting payments lately, so I am shutting it off and getting a new one at my bank - which I will have to do next month anyway, because it is expiring. It is causing me undue stress that I really cannot handle right now.
Today, I have to go get a new tire. I've sold some stock from the "God Account" to help me pay for it, so I won't miss out on paying my bills because of it.
My God Account is there for such times as this, anyway. It is God's money. It is how He takes care of me when I have urgent needs and He can't depend on others to be His hands and feet. I don't see anyone else offering to help me, so I have to depend on God to do it, and I can't believe God would want me to go into more debt at this point, when I am begging Him to get me out of debt bondage.
Eventually, I want enough money in there that I can serve God full time, and not worry about my bills or paying off any debts. But for now, I have to depend on God's money that I tithe every day to help me. I will start paying 12% (10% plus a fifth part thereof) instead of 10%, until the money I take out of it ($105) is replenished in the account, because I am taking it to keep ME going.
Of course, at some point, I want to start putting ALL I earn into it, and only use what I need to survive and help others with the earnings from the investments.
The God Account funds my ministry. Right now, I don't have anything to give away because I am not seeing enough return on my investments. I have been re-investing the money God gives me through it, to keep it growing.
This will leave me $105 in the account.
At least God has seen fit that I am not behind on my bills.
I've been watching "Beyond Blessed", where Pastor Robert Morris teaches about financial stewardship. It has really influenced me and my decision making financially. I don't buy anything that I don't absolutely need to survive. I use everything I have to pay bills and my debts.
It's still not enough, but I am inching forward.
Lord, Thank You for leading me into great insights.
I thank You for taking care of me so that I can continue to serve You daily with my work.
Please help me get out of this debt bondage that I am in so that I can do more for Your great cause!
Be with my children and my family, and my lists, and make me better today than I was yesterday. Bless the work of my hands, that I may give more toward Your ministry.
It ALL belongs to You, Lord. I am trusting YOU to help me!
Lead me, guide me, show me the way and teach me to love and forgive as You do.
In Jesus's Holy Name, I pray, Amen!
“Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.”
