clear, as does Matthew 6:31ff. that we do not need to be afraid of tomorrow
when we have a good relationship with God. ---Have you seen the text in Matthew 6:34? “Be
not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its
own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.” (from Young’s Literal
Translation) ---Anxious things will be tomorrow why?
For there will be just enough evil that with God’s help, you can handle it, but
it will be there for this is still a world stolen by Satan and regained by
Christ on the cross. ---Sufficient for the day, the evil of it.
Why sufficient? God will not allow Satan to bulldoze you out of tomorrow in
total agony amidst evil. He will rescue you out of it. Great rescue awaits.
That is why one of the prayers in the Lord’s Prayer says: Lead us not into
temptation. But deliver us. ---Why deliver? Evil is there enough every
day as long as Satan and his angels are around on this earth. But the Holy
Spirit is here too, and angels, and they are afraid of them. ---But you are here too, and cannot see
them. But you have faith. Faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. Faith
that He sent us the Holy Spirit for help every day and He does. Good or bad,
they, the Trinity helps humanity. ---Why? Heaven chose bad humanity to save
to take them back to take the place of those one third of the angels that had
to be thrown out of heaven for their rebellion choice to Satan. ---If only they had repented. But they did
not. God’s agape love is able to forgive anyone of their sins but they have to
overcome. ---Offerings are tokens of appreciation of
what God did for us in Jesus. ---We give it to Jesus to say thank you
for Him to give His life to rescue us. ---Your daughter did well in school.
Offering of thanks. ---Your birthday was this week. Thanks for
year of blessings. ---Gifts of money. Tithe as must and
offerings as thanks. ---Here in Korea people pay $100 for every
wedding they attend. When it comes to giving offering for God, some people ask
for $1 bills sometimes! It is all over the world the attitude sometimes. We
need to reform ourselves, not true? ---Sometimes people ask donations for
their conferences or unions by saying that the people can deduct it from their
tax at the end of the year and the government will give it all back to them.
Did they give? If they get it back? No. Nothing. ---It is not right to give with the
intention or certainty that someone or some institution of the government will
give you all the money back. It is basically trying to trick God and is focused
only on human praise. Is it not? It is horizontalism and not verticalism. ---It is people focused only and not God
focused first and foremost. ---Are you giving tokens of appreciation
to God for things in your life? ---Thanks Lord, here you are, from me to
You. Amen.
