Put Him first in your life and then all these real needs will be met; not the slavish needs that your fallen self wants you to believe.
There will be no poor among you’ states the ideal situation. This is a statement that God is giving to the church today.
Exodus 35:4-5
Philippians 4:17
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
In the three portions of scripture that we have just read:
Exodus 35:4-5 – giving for the Tabernacle (church building)
Philippians 4:17 – giving for missions
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 – the right attitude of giving: cheerful giving
Jesus is the Master story of our life. He knows the plot. He develops you through trials and triumphs. Even delays and detours are part of His chapter design.
