Walking by Faith: Obedience in Financial Matters
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) - "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
As followers of Christ, we are called to be obedient in all areas of our lives, including our finances. However, there are times when we may find it challenging to trust God with our money, especially when we cannot see how things will turn out. In those moments, it's essential to remember that obedience to God's principles goes beyond our limited understanding.
Hebrews 11:1 tells us, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Obedience in financial matters requires us to have faith in God's wisdom, provision, and promises, even when the outcome is uncertain. It means trusting that God sees the bigger picture and has a plan that surpasses our understanding.
God's desire for our obedience in money matters stems from His deep love and care for us. He knows that our trust in Him brings about blessings beyond measure. When we obediently manage our finances according to His principles, we position ourselves to experience His faithfulness and provision in remarkable ways.
Sometimes, being obedient with our money means making sacrifices or stepping out in faith. It could involve giving when it feels uncomfortable or choosing to live within our means rather than succumbing to societal pressures. In these moments, we need to remember that God is not limited by our circumstances. He is the God of abundance and is able to multiply what we offer to Him.
Trusting God with our finances may require us to let go of control and surrender our plans to Him. It involves acknowledging that He is the ultimate provider and sustainer of our lives. As we take obedient steps, even when uncertainty looms, we open the door for God to work miracles and showcase His faithfulness.
Today, let's reevaluate our perspective on financial obedience. May we embrace the truth that God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). As we trust Him with our finances, let's remember that our obedience is an act of faith that invites His divine intervention and transforms our lives.
