After moving back to the US after living 16 years abroad, and initially living comfortably. About a year or so ago unbeknownst to me God began to show me how I was living much like the rich fool in Luke 12. Not being a good steward and trusting God. Over the past few years I’d been more focused on business and how I could get ahead and store up wealth for me and my family…
Long story short, God allowed me to go through several unforseen financial challenges. I was caught off guard and couldn’t plan or strategize my way out of the hole I found myself in..
I reached out to several men in my life for prayer and guidance, and one simply asked me “Man.. Are you tithing?” A simple yet powerful question that shook me to my core.. I hadn’t been concerned about what God wanted to build, and had selfishly not been giving…
From there the journey began, and I’ve been trying to press in to God, understanding that I have nothing. It is all His, and I’m simply called to be a steward. This month marks a year since I’ve gone to God with the whole tithe, and have listened to Him and have tried to be a blessing to people whenever I can..
It has been a huge test of faith and we we have been put in several rough situations, but I am learning to look at tests with Joy as James writes, and be content in all situations as Paul instructs..
God bless you!
