Today's Early Church Wisdom
'Originally, when we met together we spoke of edifying things, encouraging one another and we were "like the angels":; we ascended up to the heavens. But now when we come together, we only drag one another down by gossiping, and so we go down to hell.'
Abba Megethios
C. 4/5th C.
This week's Psalm is Psalm 29 'The Voice That Stills The Storm'

Spiritual Laws of Finance

What is the point of wealth accumulated for the wrong reasons and then used in the wrong way?! This is something for which men will surely be judged at the end. We are not to be like those who acquire wealth because it is their god. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have forsaken this path, and any wealth we accumulate is for the kingdom. If we will seek God rather than money, wealth will seek us, for there are spiritual laws of finance that this world cannot comprehend. We live to give, rather than to get, and when we give as God guides, it is given back to us again, so that we do not have room to contain the blessing, for it overflows (Luke 6:38). Should we embrace a lifestyle of withholding, we will wither, not merely in spirit, but in our material circumstances, for withholding leads ultimately to poverty. But if we will choose to daily walk and talk with Jesus, following His guidance in all things, including our financial and material management, He will surely give us what we need. Those who follow this path are prosperous in spirit.
