    What I find revealing and interesting in God’s word is that when He directs our path in life it is usually not what we think should happen. He clearly states in scripture that His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts, yet as humans, we continually believe He thinks as we do. He knows all things and what is best for us, so trusting Him is for our benefit. The challenging part is trusting Him. We always want to do things our way.

    Lots of new insights reading these verses. One is that when we realize God owns everything and we are only stewards, that knowledge should be liberating.

    It’s revealing that faithfulness with small things is key to receiving greater responsibilities from God. I found it interesting that how we handle money reflects our true character and values. The idea that wasting resources could lead to losing stewardship responsibilities is challenging, as it reminds me to be diligent and careful in managing what I’ve been given.

    1. Revealing: God
      always provides, but His ways can surprise us. He is faithful, but we
      don’t always know how He’ll meet our needs.
    2. Interesting: The
      story of the orphans holding bread shows how trusting God’s promises gives
      us peace.
    3. Challenging:
      Accepting that everything belongs to God, not us, can be hard when the
      world tells us we own what we have.

    The notes opened my eyes to how closely money and our spiritual life are connected. I didn’t realize that Jesus talked so much about money—15% of His teachings! It’s challenging to think of every financial decision as a spiritual one. Luke 14:33, which says we need to give up all we have to follow Jesus, is especially hard because it asks us to trust God completely with everything we own.

    Sometimes we see that people will go against God’s laws and do almost anything to acquire money and riches instead of putting God 1st and trusting that He will supply all our needs and that His way is the best way for us.

    As the book of Mathew states: You can’t serve to Masters.

    Some people worship money and don’t know how to handle it wisely. They get into deep debt, owe taxes and be in despair. Some gain money illegally. Some people think money is all they need without God.

    I think it may come in the way more with possessions and having trust in them rather Jesus. LIke buying house and thinking that it will give you security rather than being able to be content with what you have. P.s it is nothingwrong with having or wanting a house , but sometimes we can become obsesssive with thoughts about wanting it, ( i had done in the past) where we cant even focus on Him.

    I see it in some of the young people in my church, who, after they had graduated and started work in the world outside, gradually phased out of coming to church. The excuse usually is that work keeps them busy.

    God wants me to use His money in my life for His glory! I do whatever He wants and desires!

    Spend it more responsibly, stop byying things that I don’t really need, and save more and consult Him before big purchases.

    I am very clear that I will live a simple lifestyle, so that I do not have to keep up with a busy money-making schedule, and so that I can give myself to the work of the kingdom of God, whether with or without the support of others.

    I told God that I lost because of my own will. I repent and ask God to forgive me. I give everything I keep to you. Please help me to be faithful in the small things so that you can assign bigger things day by day
