I’ve tried for years to reach an understanding of money that made sense (pun intended). I’ve researched and experimented and observed money come and go. I’ve considered money something I earned, a medium of exchange, something I received from God in return for doing His work, an entitlement, a means of controlling others, and a major scam. All the while, money came and went – or didn’t.
This morning, I came to see money as a tool used by Spirit to help me develop faith.
In the midst of all my money angst, I kept going back to the book of Mathew and the liles of the field and birds of the air. They toil not, neither do they spin. And yet Solomon in all his glory was not arryed like one of these. They do not sow, neither do they reap. And yet God feeds them.
Today, I am a lily. Today, I am a bird.
Stop toiling. Stop spinning. Stop sowing. Stop reaping. Just be fully who I AM and know that I will be arrayed. I will be fed. Not because I earned it by work, but because I earned it by faith. That’s all that’s asked of me really – have faith.
