God Bless You!

          How much do you have in your bank account? I am pretty sure that most of us could give a pretty accurate estimate of what we have in those accounts without even looking at the actual information on paper or online. We tend to know where we are financially whether we disclose that info to others or not, whether we are real or not about our finances…Deep inside, we know the truth! Most of us are clearly aware if we are able to write a check for $10, $1,000, $10,000 or whatever other amount, we know if these checks will clear or if they will bounce. Why do I talk about finances today? No, no, no, I’m not trying to convince you to give a bigger offering even though that wouldn’t be a bad idea Lol…Believe it or not the same way we know deep inside where we stand financially, we also know where we stand spiritually. We know if we have made enough deposits into our relationship with God, we know if our withdrawals exceed our deposits. Have we exhausted our “spiritual funds” to the point where some things may start bouncing? Selah…Let’s be real, God’s love, grace, favor, mercy, and blessings have no limit (THANK GOD!!) but there is only so much we could withdraw before we start being hit with some fees. Is God going to charge us a fee if we don’t maintain a close relationship with him? Of course not, but the fruit in our life will be the best “account statement” to our spiritual status. We could pretend to be “rich” financially and spiritually all we want but us and God know the truth…let’s run a spiritual analysis the same way we would do with our bank accounts…let’s be real first with God and then, with ourselves. Invest into your future!!
