Giving and Trusting!!!!!

I must admit that I just started really tithing. Before I got delivered I always said "well God knows how much I get" so I would give 20.00 here 40.00 here and I never thought much about it. I always listened to the pastor say "will a man rob God" I would always say oh boy here he goes. Lol. Well this year I said OK Lord you've blessed me with a great job so I'm going to pay my tithes correctly, the first thing I'm going to do when I get my check is take out my tithes and we shall see. I also wasn't too keen on giving to the homeless, I know I know, well let me say this first, most people believe that when they pay tithes it means God is ready to flood your wallet with cash, not necessarily, God can bless you in any aspect of your life. God can give you joy, he can heal your body, he can give you things you've been waiting on and much more, so don't only look for a financial blessing. So let me tell you what happened to me, first I have unspeakable joy, second I got a raise at work and for some reason my bills have decreased, I don't even worry about the bills. I then started seeing the homeless and just started giving. I realize I was selfish, I idolized money because it was my main focus but once I stopped chasing money and started chasing God my perspective on money and my finances changed. I realized God has always taken care of me and he always will. "Bring ye all tithes into the storehouse" I'm not saying if your ready to be evicted turn over all of your cash, but if God has blessed you with an income give him what's due because as quick as God gives he can take away. I trust him to always take care of me, so today while listening to my favorite station K love, I heard people who have less than me giving and then the spirit led me to give. God said its time to increase your giving. The devil tried to stop me by reminding me about my trip to Jamaica coming up, I said nope I'll be alright and gave anyway. Do you trust him? Do you know someone in need? Children are starving, people are homeless and jobless,why not give? Or maybe not caring is easier for you but I see things differently now. We don't realize how many things we put before God because we are so wrapped up in our everyday lives. Is there something that is controlling your life, maybe it's time you turn it over to God I know he'll bless you. Maybe it's not money, maybe you put your job before God, or your family, or Face book or just anything. God wants to be first and once he is first and at the top of your list he will take care of everything else. Trust me I know, I'm definitely working on it and the spirit is working in me teaching me day by day. Even though I'm learning, I've learned to trust God, for his love never wavers and whatever he has planned for me is way better than what I have planned for myself. Be blessed my brothers and sisters!!!
