only SOURCE."<br />

It's Not Either/Or<br />

You don't have to make a choice between God and<br />

having the money you need. It's not either/or.<br />

For example, the disciples said, "Who then can be<br />

saved?" Jesus answered, "With men it is impossible, but<br />

not with God: for with God all things are possible" (Mark<br />

10:26,27).<br />

At that point Peter spoke up, "Jesus, we who follow<br />

you have left all. What shall we have therefore?" (Mark<br />

10:28).<br />

I love what Peter said here. He was saying, "Jesus,<br />

we have taken everything out from in front of God. God<br />

is FIRST in our lives. He's our Source. We have ceased<br />

trusting in anything as our Source except You.<br />

Everything but You we have left behind."<br />

That's terrific! It's the position God wants you and<br />

me to be in today so that He may bless and prosper us.<br />

I love Peter's question that followed: "Lord, what's<br />

in it for us?" It's the right question. A lot of Christians<br />

feel Peter was sacrilegious. I don't. Certainly Jesus<br />

didn't.<br />

God does not expect us to put Him first—putting<br />

nothing in front of Him—and then to expect NOTHING<br />

back from Him.<br />
