Or do you show contempt for the riches of his
kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you
toward repentance? Romans 2:4
Why should
a man write and distribute a tract instructing us on “How to Pray So God Will
Send You the Money You Need”?
Any of us
who have experienced a life and ministry of faith can tell how the Lord met our
needs. Surely we believe that God can send money to His believing children—but
it becomes a pretty cheap thing to get excited about the money and fail to give
the glory to Him who is the Giver!
So, many
are busy “using” God. Use God to get a job! Use God to give us safety! Use God
to give us peace of mind! Use God to obtain success in business! Use God to
provide heaven at last!
Brethren,
we ought to learn—and learn it very soon—that it is much better to have God
first and have God Himself even if we have only a thin dime than to have all
the riches and all the influence in the world and not have God with it!
John Wesley
believed that men ought to seek God alone because He is love. I think in our
day we are in need of such an admonition as: “Seek more of God, and seek Him
for Himself alone!”
If we
become serious-minded about this, we would soon discover that all of the gifts
of God come along with the knowledge and the presence of God Himself.
