God Doesn’t Want Your Money
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:21

Ponder This
If you want financial freedom and the windows of Heaven to open, you must return to God. It is not your money that God wants. It is you that God wants. God needs nothing. In Psalm 50:12, God says, “If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.” God loves you. It is not what you have that God wants. God wants you. God says, “Return to Me…and I will return to you” (Zechariah 1:3). If you give your money without giving yourself, remember the adage, “The gift without the giver is bare.” If you think God is trying to somehow get more money out of you, you are so wrong. In today’s verse, Jesus said, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” God calls you to give your money because it reveals the truth about your heart.
- What connection have you noticed between your own heart and how you spend your money?
- Is there anything God is calling you to change regarding how you spend and/or give your money?

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
