Psalm 55:22

Psalm 55:22: “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you.'“

Papa, thank you that I can turn to you in times of trouble. I learned something this weekend that may help me to be a more generous person. I’m going to attempt this because I believe in your power and the way you want me to live my life. I may not be perfect at all of it, but maybe if I can start here, I’ll see it. I’m going to give a percentage of money to something…it may not be Foundations or Orchard’s, but I want to give somewhere, somehow so that I can see the power of your generosity. I know I may be looking at this the wrong way thinking you’ll suddenly multiply my wealth simply because I give back…maybe that’s not how it works, maybe I’m simply to know that you will supply all of my needs.

I need to stop being so stingy.

If I am a true believer that God will take care of me, I need to give back somehow. I’ve been doing that with my time at the church…but I think I can do it more…I learned to save 30 percent of my income from my work, all I need to do is give 10 percent of that back to something that helps others and believe you will provide the rest.

I pray when I do my taxes that I have money left over to pay off some debts, but that it teaches me to give more.
