Fishers of Men
I guess one of the basics for fishing is learning to cast.
I don't imagine I'm the only one on my Church who struggles fiancially. I don't imagine I'm the only one on My Church who the enemy uses finances as a way to attack. A way to get us second guessing even our own salvation.
If only I can learn to remember this when I need to. for instance when I wake up in the middle of the day ( I generally work nights) with a thunderous thought. Hey why sleep lets think about the money situation. Let's not be praising Jesus. We want to worry. Now maybe I'll have an answer for that.
7Casting the [a]whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, [b]once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you [c]watchfully.(A)
Gotta love that AMP version.
All your cares pretty much means ALL your care not all your care except what I want to be worrying about.
Maybe as I learn to speak it I'll learn to practice it. |

| So right, Dave. I am working on casting them there and then leaving the cares there long enough to accomplish something in my own heart. Sure I'll cast the cares to the Lord, but reel them back in just a moment later. I have to learn to leave the cares there and praise His name in the meantime. |

We don't have a problem casting our cares. The problem is we keep reeling them back in. :)
The picture that helps me is a little child who wants to help a parent carry in groceries. There desire is good but the ability to carry the burden and weight of the groceries is too much. So they let the parent carry them in. Except for the one bag with bread and potato chips. They proudly carry that one in. We have a heavenly Father.
People who live along the ocean have seen what happens to tourists who leave their vehicles on the beach overnight. The tide comes in and the car goes out. Casting our cares upon the Lord is like throwing them into the ocean of GOD's understanding. When GOD comes in cares go out. We have a heavenly Father.
Peace is not the absence of conflict. Peace is the presence of unity. When my heart and the heart of GOD are intertwined I have peace. Not from circumstances but thru them. We have a heavenly Father.
My seven year old doesn't worry about money. How the house payment or car payment is going to be made, money for food or bills. The little guy doesn't worry about none of this. It is not his problem. And I'm okay with that. We have a heavenly Father.
Worry cannot exist without doubt.
Worry cannot exist with faith.
Below is an excerpt from The Chocolate Soldier by C.T. Studd
Doubt sees the obstacle
Faith sees the way
Doubt sees the darkest night
Faith sees the day
Doubt fears to take a step
Faith soars on high
Doubt questions who believes
Faith answers I
.....peace..... |

| No, you are not alone, Dave. We have struggled in finances too....and an amazing thing happened for us. I went to that Ancient Paths seminar, and one of the administrators told me to daily speak God's word out loud: That I am no longer under the curse because Jesus became a curse for me. The curse of sickness and disease and poverty etc. I am not really a name it claim it, but a week later, Mike was offered an incredible paying job. and we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Look up all the verses on prosperity and provision. God will get you out of debt, regardless of how you got there. With us I know He wanted us to first show Him that we could be good stewards over it. He wanted us to learn that first. But I believe we will be debt free so we may bless others, and God be glorified.....He will do the same for you, my dorky friend. :D |

| Oddly enough some one gave me a book of scripures to be speaking at church today. |

| We will always have trials and in our world today so much is linked to money that many of our trials will be with money. What God wants is our heart. Trials are only there to remind us where our trust lies. I love what Lara says..speak God's word out loud. It will never return void. It will either change the situation or change your heart. Either way, you are closer to Him. (Although I say this easily, I walk it out daily.) |
