Therefore, let everyone who is
godly pray to Thee in a time when
Thou mayest be found; surely in a
flood of great waters they shall not
reach him (Psalm 32:6).
The Lord is allowing us to go through
troubles now that are meant to drive us to
higher ground. Even if we have been faithful
in all things, sometimes the Lord still allows
us to go through troubles, just as He did
Joseph, so He can trust us with even more of
His abundance.
Like Joseph, we are being prepared to
properly manage the abundance we receive
so it can save lives during the times of
famine that are coming. The Lord wants His
people prepared to use the circumstances
that are coming for the sake of His gospel,
not just so we can get rich. One fundamental
flaw that will keep us bound by the spirit
of poverty is selfishness. When it comes to
the Lord trusting us with more resources,
motives are crucial.
The Lord is right now preparing His
people for what is about to come. He has been
warning His church for over twenty-five years
to get out of debt. He has given us plenty of
time to do it. However, because the expected
catastrophic economic problems have taken
so long to come, many have disregarded the
warning. There is still time to repent and get
our houses in order, but we must not delay.
