What you said has happened, as you now see..." (from Jeremiah 32:24)
It is so easy for us to rest on the assumption that we need to "get ahead" in this world. That we need to make a dollar and save hard and take care of ourselves first and then our families and friends and then those who can help us, and lastly (if we have anything left over) we can give to those who can't give back, like the poor, the homeless, the orphaned.
This is NOT God's way! His way is to give to those who cannot give back. His way is to go after the Kingdom first and worry about having 'enough' later (if at all). If we fail to do so it is because we do not fully trust in God's promises.
And yet nothing is more sure, as this verse points out. What God said HAS happened, and WILL happened. "His Word my hope secures" as the song says.
Thank You LORD!
