That Pie In The Sky

Have you ever found yourself wishing you could win the lottery? What about marrying a rich man/woman? How about a rich relative leaving you a large amount of money? I have at least thought one of those at one time or another as I am sure all of you have. We have alot of discussions at my work about things and the guys here are always wishing they could win the lottery. We fool ourselves thinking that will solve all our financial issues. Sure it would be nice to not have to worry about money, but have you ever thought to stop and as God what he wants for you? God doesn't intend for his children to be poor, but did it ever occur to anyone that some of your financial woes are from your own bad choices? I know that there are some cases where it is just something that happens to some people, but the majority of the time the reason we get into the financial messes that we do its by our own doing. We cry out to God expecting him to give us a quick fix and that doesn't happen very often. We have gotten our eyes on what we see other people have and we ask God why don't I have that. You don't know what that other person has had to walk through to have what they have. I am sure that most of you would not be willing to walk their walk to have it. God wants us to look to him as our source and not for a quick fix or that pie in the sky. God always provides us with what we need right when we need it. We shouldn't get our eyes on the treasure of this world rather we should set our sights on our heavenly treasures. Your walk isn't like that other person who has all those things and the money. God has a purpose and a plane for you and you have to seek after him and not seeking how to get the money to solve your financial situation. When you look to HIM he will guide you and give you the wisdom so that you don't make the same mistakes as before. So stop looking for that rich relative to leave you money and look to your heavenly father and what he wants for you.
