Daily Dose of Encouragement

Today’s theme: Finances. Money sucks. If you really stop to think about it, everything you do is controlled by money. Have a tumblr? Money pays for your internet service. Cell phone? Paid with money. Food? Paid with money. Money money money. It is the focus of most people’s lives. How are we going to afford the rent, the food, the childcare? How are we going to make ends meet? How can I scam this customer to make me more money? It doesn’t have to be this way, though. Philippians states that “God will take care of your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. God will take care of you. He will provide. You just have to pray and trust Him. I’ve been struggling a lot with finances lately, thanks to college. But friends, I ask you today to stop thinking about money, pray to Jesus, and trust that everything will work out for the better.
