“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Investing in God is not about money, works, religion, or sacrifices. He doesn’t need any of these things. He wants you!
God is very jealous and this emotion is like a consuming fire inside of Him. He is jealous because He does not want to share you with other gods or idols. He is the first and the last God and there is no other God. It makes Him furious when you reject Him for false gods or idols.
You invest in God by making a genuine and sincere commitment to live for Him. Living for God is an expression of your total allegiance and devotion to Him. You live by the words “not my will but yours be done”. You can take this bold step because you know He wants to give you more than you ask or think.
God knows you better than you know yourself and He is omniscient and sees every detail in your future. So if you deny God you are rejecting His insight and protection and placing yourself above Him. This attitude left unchecked will lead to misery and destruction.
Instead of trying to tackle life on your own, seek out God through prayer, praise, and His Word. Commit each day to God and walk with Him by faith. Come into oneness with God through the Holy Spirit who lives inside you. The Spirit of God will fill you with Himself and equip you to meet all the challenges in your life.
The amazing thing about investing in God is you no longer have to carry the burdens of life and strive to make ends meet. When you commit to Jesus you belong to Him and it becomes His responsibility to provide you with an abundant life and fulfill the desires of your heart.
He wants to do for you what you can never do for yourself!
Thought for the day! “I am an everlasting God and no one can compare to Me. Come to Me by faith and I will show you My greatness. I will give you an abundant life that will exceed all your expectations.”
