“Not-So-Funny Money”

Wednesday, August 12, 2020

     Why are my finances not blessed?

Sincerely,
Broke

Dear Broke,

People suffer for various reasons:

1. Sometimes we suffer for our own sins (Gal 6:7-8).  Financially, it could be that someone isn't a good steward (Pr 24:3-4), or they haven't been working hard and diligently to earn and save (Pr 21:5).
2. Sometimes we suffer because of others’ choices (Like David’s sufferings at the hands of Saul – 1 Sam 20:1).  Robbery, fraud, even accidental things like fires and natural disasters can affect your finances.
3. Sometimes we suffer in order to glorify God through our suffering and recovery (Like the blind man – Jhn 9:2-3).  Some people are used by God to show how it is possible to be content without much money, and are used as an example to all that there is more to life than possessions.
