THAT's a Deal!

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world.

James 1:27 (NKJV)

 

 

I was blown away watching an afternoon talk-show recently.  A noted fashion designer to the stars was launching a new “affordable” clothing line for “everyday people”.  The several-hundred-member audience was brought to a roar of applause when the simple black cardigan’s price of $80 was announced.  “That is so cheap,” they all agreed.  Maybe for some, spending nearly $100 on one article of clothing is a good deal.  But do you know the cost of that sweater could feed 2 children through World Vision or Compassion International  for a month?  

 NOW THAT’S A DEAL! 

 

Maybe you're thinking that God doesn't really care about your clothes or how much you spend on them. One of the top two topics in the Bible is money. It's called stewardship. A steward is someone who is personally responsible for taking care of another person's property. Everything we have is God's property. He just lets us  use it!

Maybe there’s something in your everyday spending God is leading you to cut out. Consider praying and asking God to lead you according to His Will about your spending.  Maybe He would have you sponsor a child or give from your surplus to a local charity.  One thing is for certain, ask and He will direct you.

 

 

God, you have given me so much and I am thankful.  Help me know where you want me to serve and give Your time and resources. Lord, be with rescue ministries who provide shelter, food and clothing to children all over the world. Show me how I might assist in their efforts.
