<strong>Attack</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Lack</strong><br />
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 />
