I don't know if the Lord's children are having as difficult a time as we hear reported in the news concerning finances. But the simple truth is still found in the scriptures.
Luke 6:38
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Now that is not the advice the financial planners will give you, but the Lord Jesus would never lead any of his children astray. But as many face difficulty, they want to keep what little they have. Rather treat your money as seed, for that is the Bible view of it.
II Corinthians 9
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
If a farmer desired a good crop, yet kept all his seed in the barn, and would not plant it, most would think him rather foolish. Are you like the foolish farmer or are you obedient to the Lord?
