Wealth

 Greetings to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Psalm 50:10 says, “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.”

     How much am I worth?  I once looked at the total of my earnings up that day on my social security report and I am not a billionaire, nor a millionaire, but a thousandaire.  I guess they don’t use that word because everyone is probably in that category.  There are a lot of people who are now famous for the amount of money that they have accumulated over their short lifetime so far.  People like Elon Musk and Bill Gates have become more prominent and now are trying to figure out what to do with their money.  Wealth is not always measured by the amount of currency that you have in your possession.

     The above passage reminds us of God’s wealth which is obviously the greatest of all ass the passage above describes it.  Every beast in the forest are His along with all the cattle that are on a thousand hills.  It is one way of God declaring that everything that is on the earth, in the earth, in the sea and in the heavens is His in the final analysis.  George Mueller and Hudson Taylor were men in England who were themselves poor, and were missionaries, yet they knew how to get the funds they needed and it was from God, the Ruler of the Universe, the Creator and Sustainer of all that there is.  Both Muller and Taylor would simply go to the God of the universe in prayer and lay their request before Him.  it is interesting to not that Mueller neve let his needs be known to men, but only to God and God never failed Him and the orphans had food on their table at all meals.  What does that mean to us?  There are those times in our lves when we come up short and perhaps there was a good reason such as was the case of the Philippinas who had given much to the ministry of the Apostle Paul .  Paul then reminded them that God would supply all of their need.  He may just move one of the cows from one h ill to another in order to help someone with their needs.  We may look at our bank account and boast of how big it is, but in reality, it is all God’s and we are but stewards of what He has given us.  The question is how are we going to use what He has entrusted to us?  God knows our needs even before we do.  We then express them to Him through prayer and we may not know how God is going to do it, but He does.  Your social security log may have a number on it but in reality, your are more wealthy than you may realize.  Your  final proof wil be in your inheritance when you arrive in Glory!  Praise God today as being the Provider for all of our needs.
