"Lord, help me to grasp that all the money I think I have is really Yours. Help me to grasp that all the money our church has is not the church’s, but Yours. Give us healthy giving hearts to use these funds according to Your purpose."
1. Habakkuk 3: 17-18 NASB “Though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields produce no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls, yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. Father God, these verses speak of calamities, while at the same time affirming that whatever happens we will praise You and trust Your faithfulness. We are joyful because You have provided the way for our salvation.
2. Habakkuk 3: 19 NASB “The Lord God is my strength, and he has made my feet like hinds’ feet, and makes me walk on my high places.” Lord God, it is in my weakness that I can see Your divine strength at work in my life. When I attempt things requiring greater strength than what I know I possess or when circumstances overwhelm me, I know I can run to You for help and strength.
