Rich?

Ever heard of John D. Rockefeller?
If not you ought to know that he was the founder of the standard oil company.
You know what that makes him?
A rich man by earthly standards. A very rich man,

however when asked how much money was enough 

He replied "A little bit more."

a man that rich

and yet was still not satisfied with 

what this world had to offer

because though he had much

what he had wasn't infinite

it wasn't everlasting

it was simply fleeting

but what the human soul craves is something infinite

something everlasting

something that can fill it's void

that something can only be found in Christ

and the beauty of our situation is

though we don't deserve to be filled

He not only fills us

no 

no 

no

But instead He overflows us when we trust in Him

tonight reading 1 Timothy 6

this jumped out and grabbed my heart

and this is at a time where I felt like I regretted tithing . . .

let's just say God has a huge way of saying TRUST ME!

to me

1 Timothy 6

¹⁷ Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.¹⁸ Instruct them to do what is good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share, ¹⁹ storing up for themselves a good reserve for the age to come, so that they may take hold of life that is real.

who RICHLY PROVIDES US WITH ALL THINGS TO ENJOY!!!!!

When I look at this scripture I'm also reminded

that God watches over even the birds of the air

He even provides for them

and He sent His Son to DIE so that He could call me Son

Why would He not provide for me too?

then I think of Psalm 32

MY CUP OVERFLOWS

man I start thinking about how much I have in Christ

My family in Christ

The talents that He has given me to glorify Him

and how in Him I'm fully alive 

whether or not i have a lot in my pocket at the moment or not

I'm ALIVE

now I'm not saying money isn't something that we need

what I'm saying is that if I fall in love with money

and start living for money

I won't be satisfied

it's a fleeting pleasure

and the love of money is a root to all kinds of evil

last thing yall wanna see is me out on the street sellin dope lol

God is my provider

and not only that but He is my great reward!!!!

I have all that I need in Him

all I need is Him

all we need is Him
