Fit Bit (Trusting God in our Finances)
Today I am facing a large Vet Bill. My sons dog was under my watch and it appears
that her leg will be need to be x-rayed and beyond. I am already running a tight ship and this
feels a bit overwhelming. Do you ever
feel this way?
My Lent goal is to be a better steward of my finances. I have been a bit better but still a long way
from my goals. Tithing is something I
have not been good at. I give, but never
a full 10% plus. This is a bit
embarrassing considering I want to have a wellness ministry.
I think it is difficult to give when you feel like you don’t
have enough. Often do it anyway and
never seem to miss the money or the time.
The reward I get from giving is much greater then the reward I get from
holding back. Yet when times like facing
a big vet bill come up I am reminded that my giving is not even close to what
it should be.
During Lent we are reminded that it is from dust we come and
from dust we will return. Only what we
do for Jesus Christ will last.
Putting God first in our time and finances is a great way to
be healthy in these areas. Yet it is a
difficult thing to do when this world is pulling greatly at both of those
resources. I obviously do not have the
answers. I do recognize it is a problem
for me, I guess this is the first step.
What about you? Are you healthy
in your time and finances?
Mark 8:36 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul?”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
