Devo: Trust God by Giving and Resting

Believing in God’s power to provide means trusting God enough to obey His precepts about Giving and Resting.

  • Giving sacrificially, regularly, and cheerfully. Giving a % of your income to God.
  • Setting aside one day in seven for rest and worship. Sabbath.

If I trust God, then I believe that I can do more with 6 days of work and God’s power than I can with 7 days of work in my power. I can do more with 90% of my income and God promises than I can with 100% of my income in my own power.

  • Do I trust God enough to take a day off from work to recharge and reconnect with him? Or do I believe that it is my effort alone that makes my ends meet?
  • Do I trust God enough to believe his promises toward the generous? or do I believe that what I have is mine and I deserve all of it?

  1. The concept of Sabbath is hard. We don’t want to be legal but we want to be faithful and at the end of the day to be able to not work for a day for the sake of worship, rest and family time helps everyone.

  2. Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
