Ooph , I took the bait.
I really would have loved this last day to be full of victory. Sadly, (kinda) it is not really a day filled with overall victory but some.
In my previous post, I mention how I fell into the temptation to spend on takeaways and truly that was just the beginning. The last day, day 7, it went deeper. I don't even mean in the sense of spending all my cash on takeaways but rather my spending was just frivolous and less #everyrandhaspurpose you know.
What I learnt in these 7 days that if I do not allow God to lead then I will allow my finances to be lord. Which in a way I would think I got things under control but truly not.
Matthew 6:24, No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God & money.
For 5 days, I managed to do so well, in going to the Lord with every decision when it came to buying groceries or paying a certain bill. It was in the last days that I thought I had it all together and it all came crashing down. I am learning that I need God every day and every moment. I can't make this stuff up; really and truly, we need God in all areas of our lives. Emotionally and just as much financially.
My motivation is never to have stuff I do not need, but rather to live a minimalist life, have what we need and just be content with how God provides & what He provides.
So, as I continue this process of becoming better at depending on my Father, I pray that you too will lay down all your concerns and you whole self at His feet. Allow Jesus to cleanse and uproot what is needed in order for you to experience the life He has ordained for you.
✍Note to you; if you have not been able to complete a challenge in complete victory, you tried and that in itself is victorious. Just don't give up - give it another go as the Holy Spirit guides.A very good read is Matthew, chapter 6. 🤍
I love you. But God, loves you so much more.
