Day 11 – Trusting God with our Financial Needs
I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment, whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing. I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me. … And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:12-13, 19 NET
Financial needs can stress us more than just about anything. Philippians 4:19 tells us, God will supply our every need. Do you believe that? Do you trust that? Are you content with what God has given you? As you spend time in this passage today, are there areas of your finances you need to hand over to God? Ask God for His wisdom and insight in the areas you need to lay before Him.
Thanksgiving
Thank God for the quiet moments to spend in His Presence.
Focus
Ask God to remove distractions so you may focus your heart and mind on Him.
God’s Revelation through His Word
Are there words or phrases that stand out to you? As God reveals the areas of your finances you need to lay before Him list those areas in your journal. Is God asking you to make changes in your lifestyle in order for Him to meet your needs? Write those changes in your journal.
Prayer
Pray God’s Words back to Him, making it personally applicable to you. Is God asking you to do something? Do you have financial need? Lay it at the foot of The Cross and ask God to meet that need. Ask Him to help you commit daily to make the changes He is asking you to make.
In His Calm,
