What do you do if you are scared financially? I trusted in God and he helped me.

I was young with two small kids. My husband decided to move in with a girl he met at the store. I had a part time job making $400 a month. I prayed to God to give me wisdom. He told me in my heart, and in the Bible to put God first in everything even my money, so I did. I gave 10 % to the church which was going to make me low on my rent in 3 weeks. But in the Bible, book of Micah, it says "I challenge you to trust me, give me your first and I will pour down heaven for you" so I trusted him. After 2 weeks I received a knock on my door. A lady that I had given a ride to visit her friend in a nursing home a couple of times had died she said, and she wanted to give me all the money from the gift she had inherited from her friend $22,000. I could pay my rent. God never fails us...I have challenged God by putting all my eggs in Jesus basket. It was the right basket!

    This is God speaking. I didn't make the world, God did! We are separated from him because of sin. God is Holy and we are very sinful. There is only one way to get close to him and that is trusting in Jesus, God Almighty who came and took all our sins on his shoulders 2016 years ago.We are not as smart as God. We can't tell God how to run the universe, sorry!

    If you trust in Jesus and what he did 2016 years ago, and you give him your all. Then you will be blessed. "In this world you will have tribulation, but I have overcome the world Jesus says. And "My people will never beg for bread"

    God doesn't want us to live selfish lives or be lukewarm. He wants us to be lights in this dark world. I think you are a light with your standing up for justice. Thank you! Robbing banks is sinful. You won't be blessed if you rob banks. God wants us to be loving to everyone and love Jesus more than money.

    It is good to live on very little but it is harder when you have kids.

    Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”…John 14:20

    What Jesus did is the most significant in my life! The calendar of time was changed because of what Jesus did. Almighty God came down and took all humanities sins on his shoulders. He loves us

    "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not die but have everlasting life.

    John 3:16

    Jesus says

    If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

    Carazaa, I try to use logic in these situations, not relying on some irrelevant ancient verse. The fact is, people have a tendency to attribute events to a cause that may not even exist, all the time. It's called confirmation bias. It's well documented that people will seek out, notice and remember information that support a belief they already have far more often than they will for information that disproves their beliefs. This is just a bare fact about human nature. When you view things in light of this fact, all sorts of miracles and blessings and answered prayers lose their magic. I guess it comes down to not preferring to live in a fantastical world of magic, for me.

    I don't know what this is supposed to mean to me, Carazaa. You may as well be quoting from Harry Potter.

    I care about people and God has told us to lean on him for success in life. That's why I quote what God says.

    "You will find favor and good reputation In the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path…" Prov.3

    Honestly, you sound like some of Bible-repeating robot. Anyway, it's not MY understanding, it's acknowledgement of facts. Anyone with the same facts, using logic, should come to the same conclusion, including Jesus, Jehovah, Buddha, Krisna, Zeus, or any other god you could name.

    Doesn't it worry you a little, that the book that is supposed to have all the answers, explicitly tells you NOT to use YOUR OWN MIND?

    You quote what a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago said that God said.

    If you believe that, you are prepared to believe anything. I don't have any need to believe; the world is enough for me just as it is.
