Money is
tight this month. The rain gutter is in need of repair after the last severe
storm. My tire keeps going flat. I had to be rescued twice from the church
parking lot. My income arrives once a month. It’s entered into my checkbook,
and then the monthly bills gobble it up. Will my funds make it through the
month, or will there be month left over at the end of the money?
Doubt challenges
my reasoning, dulls my enthusiasm, wipes out my hope and worst of all, steals
the most vital ingredient to survival—faith. Fear and faith cannot live together.
The
words in the above verse were spoken by a man with a demoniac son. The father
felt his son’s condition was hopeless. After all, the disciples couldn’t drive out
the demon. Jesus’ response was, “O faithless generation. . . ” (See Mark
9:17-27).
No way do I
want to be a member of the “faithless generation.” I believe the Lord is my provider,
and I will make it through this month. Jesus often asked people if they believed
He could perform miracles. I need to say “Yes” to God and actively believe–always.
My situation today is the arena for a miracle. This should be exciting!
Dear Lord, thank you for providing for
me in all areas of my life. I confess that money causes me the greatest
anxiety. You have always provided what I need when I needed it. I believe. Help
my unbelief. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

Lois, you are in the same situation that my mother and two sisters live every month. Mother did well and even tithed all of her money. My two sisters just make it month to month. God has blessed me abundantly. He has made up for all the times we lived from hand to mouth. Somehow, we kept the faith. God is blessing you in your faith. God bless you all the more. E.Bonnie
