Weekly Money Matters- Let Faith Supercede Frustration

One thing I have learned in life is, being broke is no joke.  Nothing to laugh about.  Everyone that is in the broke status is not there because they have mismanaged their money.  Some just don't make enough to make ends meet. And when you are  living a life of faith, if you aren't careful frustration will set in.

These are difficult times we are living in and difficult times call for drastic measures.  It is time to stand on NOW Faith (Hebrews 11:1).  That is tenacity in the face of doubt, it is faith that will man up and go toe to toe with unbelief, it is faith without measure that supercedes even the most frustrating situations.  It is the type of faith that will stubbornly stand and say, "I will trust God no matter what."

Apostle Paul summed it up like this, "We walk by faith, and not by sight."  But the reality is that many are so focused on what's in front of them.  So when we talk about faith sometimes they don't get it.  Walking in faith doesn't mean that problems won't arise, it doesn't mean that you won't have to wait, or that you won't be tested.  So far from the truth.

Life can present some very challenging financial moments and it seems no matter how you maneuver the money it just isn't enough and something ends up not getting paid.  Some have experienced foreclosures, losing their apartments, car repo, electric being turned off, no food to feed their family, etc. Many marriages fall apart because of financial strain. It is during these times that the enemy of our soul will cause us to be frustrated with God, and to doubt His word.

Frustration is defined as to prevent from achieving a goal or a gratifying desire.  Being frustrated will actually stop you from moving and getting to your next step.  It will stop you from seeing the future and realizing the lessons of every finanicial challenge we encounter.

Faith on the other hand is always moving forward, is always seeking information and new strategy. Faith will keep you focused and at peace, even when chaos is swirling all around you.

Let your faith supercede the frustration you may be experiencing.  Stand on your NOW faith knowing that God will deliver you out of all your trouble. Continue to honor God in giving tithe and offerings and watch as He turns every situation around for you.

As you stand on tenacious faith without measure watch as God brings you from a broke status to a status of blessings and living in the overflow.

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
