Money and the burdens I allowed it to placed on me, caused an agrrevation, at times, that I needed to over come in Jesus name. I was doing my very best to live a life in line with God’s will that I could. I did not want to place my trust in money, and yet it had me under it’s thumb. It was as if the harder I tried to keep from making bills, the needs in my life kept bringing them up. And I was at the mercy of who ever had the money I needed to pay the bills.

I asked God in prayer, “Why is it this way? Should I not be free from finance? After all I am your child and I don’t even have a savings account. How was I ever to be free from the burdens of money this world is famous for, if I had not even a savings account to draw from.”

His answer came as it always did, short and simple. “You don’t because you don’t.”

My response, “What does that suppose to mean?” “I am doing my best here to do the right thing, and I don’t even have a savings account.”

He answered once again, short and simple, “You don’t because you don’t.

Then the light came on. It occured to me I did not even have a savings account to draw from. It was not like I had one with no money in it. I did not even have one. I had made no attempt to put my self in a position, I thought I should be in if I was a child of God. And because I didn’t I wasn’t. It was up to me to trust and act on what I believed, and I was not doing it. My wife and I went out the next day and started a savings account, not to gain riches, but to become financially free. Free from the burden that this world’s riches will place on you if you allow it.

God allows what we allow. And it is the truth that will set us free.

The truth was, I was blaming God for something I thought I should have as His child. The truth is, I needed to act on what I believe, to become who He wants me to be. If I don’t, I don’t, and there is only me to blame.

Thank you God In Jesus name, for allowing me to be financially free.
