Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
Isa 47:7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy
heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Isa 47:8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that
sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I
know the loss of children:
Isa 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom
and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else
beside me.
Isa 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and
mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon
thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
2Co 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their
want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
2Co 8:15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered
little had no lack.
as a means of glorifying God by our beneficence, and of spreading among men the gold of heavenly
blessing: (2 Cor. 9:12,13)
2Co 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is
abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
2Co 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed
subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all
men
as a thing that, according to the assurance of Jesus, we can exchange for a treasure in heaven. (Matt.
19:21; Luke 12:33)
Mt 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Lu 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a
treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
And what is now the way to be freed from the danger and to be led into the right blessing of money?
Let God be Lord over your money. Receive all your money with thanksgiving, as coming from God in
answer to the prayer: 'Give us this day our daily bread.' (1 Chron. 29:14)
1Ch 29:14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly
after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
Lay it all down before God as belonging to Him. Say with the woman: 'I verily dedicate the silver
unto the Lord.' (1 Tim. 4:4,5)
