2 Chron
25:9 (ESV) And Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about
the hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?" The man of
God answered, "The Lord is able to give you much more than this."
NOTE: We worry too
much about things that are inconsequential. What is money to a person who has
infinite resources, like God? Of course, we don't have infinite resources, and
so the idea of being swindled or wasting our money, because God has asked us to
do something, is difficult for us. If I am in the will of God, I really can't
be taken advantage of. Oh, it might look like that to the other person or to a
third party, but I would hate to be either of those persons. There are so many
things so much more important than money. It should not be my motivation in
life. People, and the direction of their lives needs to be my motivation. How
can I impact people for good? How can I show them the savior? How can I be
different around them in comparison to other people who don't know God. My
purpose here, is not to accumulate money. My purpose is to be a light and a
witness. If I fail at that, what good is the money. Lord help me to think about
people and to think of how to be a light to them. Give me boldness to take
advantage of the opportunities as they come up.
