Finding Your Financial PathНамуна

Money doesn’t save us. Jesus does.

Faith—no matter how small—is a powerful thing. In the book of John, one of Jesus’ followers, John, describes a time when Jesus got so fired up that He preached and taught well into the evening. People started to get hungry, so His followers asked Jesus if He could wrap it up and send the crowd home for dinner. Instead, Jesus told His followers to find food. The best they could do was a little boy’s lunch. That day, Jesus fed more than 5,000 people using five loaves of bread and two small fish.

Talk about a miracle! Because one little boy had enough faith to give all that he had, thousands of people were fed “as much as they wanted” (John 6:11). The boy not only got back more than what he gave, he was able to share with thousands because there was so much.

God doesn’t ask us to give because He needs what we have. God wants us to give because we need what He has. Your faith in giving has a bigger impact than you could ever imagine. When we decide to step up and give, God will use our faith to do miracles.

Think About:
1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your faith in God’s ability to provide? Why did you chose the number you selected?
2. When was the last time you witnessed a miracle? What happened that day? How did it change your faith?
3. Every miracle starts with a step of faith. What miracle are you asking God for in your finances? What step of faith do you need to take?

Pray:
Jesus, when You saved me, You brought me from death to life. I am a walking miracle! Increase my faith as I learn to trust You with every area of my life, not just my salvation.
