“ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts” Haggai 2:8

When I was a child I’ll never forget sitting in church with my mother. At that time in my life we had very little. My mother was single and raising two small children on her own. If there was a way to stretch a dollar, mom found it, and then stretched it again. That’s why it amazed me one Sunday, as we sat in church together, and I watched her write out a check for the morning offering. From what little we had, she was giving some away? I looked at her and she whispered, “We give to the Lord, because He has given us everything we have.” With that, I knew the conversation was over. For her, this was not a debate. Later, still confused as we walked to our car, there was a man standing next to the drivers side door. He said to my Mom, “Your tires are bald and there is snow coming. Come by my shop and I’ll fix you up.” She said,”That’s okay, I can’t afford it right now but thank you.” He said, “Your money’s no good with me. I’ll take care of it”. The gift far and away exceeded what Mom had given to God a few minutes earlier. At that moment, I knew,

God’s Supply Is Endless

King David said in Psalm 24 that “The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.” The point being, God does not need your money, He wants your trust. When you give of what you have to His church, you are saying, God I trust you more than I trust what’s in my wallet. For You are my supply. Will those funds always be used perfectly by every church? The answer is certainly no. But that’s not the point. The point is all the gold and all the silver of this world already belongs to God. In giving, you are saying, God, I trust you more than gold. As you give, watch a whole new world open up to you!
