FLOURISHING

What’s happening to America’s economy? One report said 1.2 million jobs have been lost this year. The news tells us we’re in a recession.

I believe the Word of God’s report, when it says, “...my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). I can’t explain how God’s economy works, I just know it does. I know that when I married a woman who believes in giving a tenth of her income to God, I was deep in student loans. In much less time than paying them off usually takes, we were debt free!
Remember how frail and skimpy Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree was until his friends took hold of it?!? The “after” version of this tree looked as though new branches and pine needles were miraculously added. That’s how God operates in our lives. Every frail area he touches begins to flourish and prosper.

Let’s be open to whatever means God uses to bless us. He may even send Linus and Lucy!
