Glimpse #3 {This is How We Welcome}

God wants his people to trust him. Not just for today, but for tomorrow.

And not just with our hunger, but with all of our needs.

If we are storing up treasures in our home and bank

or storing up fear in our minds or storing up bitterness in our hearts,

we are not trusting our Creator with the most basic needs of our life.

There are times to save and make preparations, and these will be most fruitful when they are in response to God’s leading.

But if we spend so much time, energy and money storing up and working toward the future,

we will struggle to receive Him {and all he is calling us to}

now

right here

in these moments.

Blessing and abundance comes, not in what we are saving, but in the Savior himself.

So let us continually surrender our needs and hunger to the Father,

let us make room for Him and his provisions.

Let us clear out anything that hinders his life from being born in our heart and home.
