I would like to share how having faith in God can shield us better from financial worries. This is a six weeks series that explores bible characters and how they were able to draw on this faith when they had very little. Hebrews 11 credits them for their faith.

I'd be focusing on Jesus. He taught us in Matthew 6:25-33 how not to worry: instead, he encourages us to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well". It's a verse I have often heard on numerous occasions, and you might be asking how that applies now when we seem to be time-poor and have less to give

Jesus points us to the greatest commandments in Matthew 22 37- 40. where all the Law and Prophets hang on these two:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.

It is important to feel assured that God is interested in you, and he is also fondly interested in your neighbor, those he has placed around you.

For example, at the end of the week, when I often get rid of stale meals. I am reminded of how food waste in a recession isn't good financial stewardship. Now, I try to buy just enough, which means I can save just a bit more and give to others.

There are other times, however, that you may be expected to sacrifice first in obedience and reap the rewards later.

Proverbs 17:22 says, "A joyful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." I have been healthy throughout the pandemic and have not had to use my funds to pay for medical bills, saving my cash for my vitality. Blessings don't always show up financially; they can come in a need that is being met.

That is not true at all. Rather was Jesus Christ instead told you is that that is the second greatest commandment of God's Old Law of Moses which is found in Leviticus 19 vs 18. Jesus Christ did not come to preach God's Old Law of Moses to you, so please try not to put lies in His mouth.

The greatest commandment is found in John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23 & John 15 vs 7 - 14 - Live your life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth, and Law in the Kingdom of God. All other commandments which He gave His followers are subsumed in this one commandment/ mandate.

Jesus greatest commandment was in fact "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength" you can find this in Matthew 22:36-40.

What Jesus Christ instead told you of those two commandments found in Deuteronomy 9 vs 6 and Leviticus 19 vs 18 is that they are a culmination of all the Law of Moses and the Prophets that came before Jesus Christ, in verse 40 Not once did Jesus Christ say those laws apply as far as the Kingdom of God which He instead came to establish.
