Though my family is very well off I find myself feeling as someone who would be ok not having the money to do things other can't. I find that I think some day I will not live in a big house will not have the lifestyle I have now. I am ok with that. Not that I would prefer it but it doesn't sound bad to me. I feel I am comfortable where ever I am in life. I say this all when I am on the top of the hill. I do also feel I wouldn't know what I had untill I lost it.
But I look at the job field I want to go into and realise I won't make a lot of money and I am ok with that, I know God will provide what I need, when I need it. Though I have plans to make sure I have money coming from other places such as a side business and God willing some form of military work, not cause I want/need the extra money but my sacrifices aren't my families and I need to make sure they are ok.
Long rambling story short. I feel I would be ok with no money, cause I know God is with me; and I would rather not have money so I don't have to focus/worry about it, but I will earn what I can so I can help my family as well as others if fanancial needs aren't being met.
God please bless me and keep me. Amen.
Brian,
ReplyDeletei think you've got a great post here. the other point you'll want to take note of is that when one gives first and foremost to God - God will bless you. So, always give cheerfully of whatever you do have.
...and the field you are being called to is much more rewarding than any six figure salary you or I could dream of...(yea it'd be nice to have both - but not in this society!)
