Does God need our money? The most obvious answer to that question is “no.” God does not need our money. He is the Creator of the universe. Giving is for our own good. It helps us learn to be unselfish. It reminds us to keep our priorities straight. It enables us to respond in a positive way to His blessings. It teaches us to trust Him more.
Does God need our money? Some may reply “yes.” God does need our money because of the way He has chosen to operate. God could use the angels to preach the gospel, but He has chosen to work through people to reach people. Therefore, He needs us! God could send a check written from the Bank of the Universe to pay our utilities bill, but He hasn’t chosen to work in that manner.
Ultimately, God just needs for us to turn loose of some of His money. Then we can learn the lessons He wants to teach us, and there will be plenty of money in the storehouse to do His work.
As you give back today, contemplate the blessings that are poured out in so many ways when you choose to trust your Heavenly Father.
