God won´t just give you money

Last night as we sat at our youth group staff meeting, one of the guys shared about how he had had a dream in which Mayi was already preaching in Africa. He shared about how God was leading him to give money for Mayi´s coming trip and that he was willing to help in anything he could.

Mayi then shared how she had given up her dream of going to Africa but that in recent days God had been confirming His purpose for her in Central Africa. Tears were everywhere (she made a good effort to contain them though). Once she finished sharing, people started commenting on that as I was overwhelmed by my own thoughts.

God has called a bunch of us to go to the nations. I agree that the field is not for everyone, that some of us are committed to pray, while others are called to give or to go. We expect God to give us what we need in order to obey, nevertheless He is way more faithful than that. God is God not only to provide for money; He will provide the prayers and the covering for the accomplishment of His calling.

So whenever you are called to do something for Him, don´t only think about the money, think about the blessings it is for you to be honored to serve Him. Stop worrying about the finances and He will send and He will provide, we are called to stand firm.

30 God clothes the grass of the field. It lives today and is burned in the stove tomorrow. How much more will He give you clothes? You have so little faith! 31 Do not worry. Do not keep saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘What will we wear?’ 32 The people who do not know God are looking for all these things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all these things. 33 First of all, look for the holy nation of God. Be right with Him. All these other things will be given to you also. 34 Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will have its own worries. The troubles we have in a day are enough for one day.
