God’s Provision – Discussion
-
What in the notes did you find revealing, interesting or challenging?
-
Now I know God owns everything and I own nothing.
Now I know I’m spending God’s money, and that I don’t spend my own money, that God owns all my money.
God has wisdom in how he wants me to spend His money. I never was good in my money and I’m living in poverty currently. I believe once I correct my attitude towards spending God’s money, God will pull me out of my poverty.
-
I didn’t realize the size of the universe, until given the breakdown provided in the notes! This lesson is about way more than finances; it is truly changing my perspective of how mighty God is. He created and owns literally everything yet still specifically knows me and loves me.
-
I found it intriguing that there are over 2,000 verses or mentions about money in the Bible! That shows just how important this topic is.
-
It means everything we have is a gift. Only the owner of something can gift it to someone else.
-
That the money that I have isn’t mine and I should include God in how I spend it. Alot of times I forget that and think I can spend money without including God in my decisions.
-
I have that most of the time thinking its my money, my car, my house etc, but its not it is all gods possessions and has provide for us, as a christian I need to remember that for the rest of my life

Why would it be important to know that the Lord is in control of our circumstances?
-
I believe it is impriotant to know that to realise that he is omnipresent and that we do not need to worry and be our own saviours. By knowing that He is in control it encourages to trust Him in every circumstance including financial ones. Also knowing that He is in control lets us not to focus on food, clothes , or shelter but rather on seeking His kingdom with all our heart and strength.
-
If we do not know this, we will worry and panic in the face of difficult circumstances – and those circumstances are sure to come because life is uncertain. Because of such worries, we may hoard money unnecessarily. We may also pursue money overly, because no amount of money is ever enough to feel secure when God is not our security.

I think it is important in order to lower stress and build trust in our relationship with our Creator. We can build our trust in Him like a muscle and eventually build faith and humility. I used to work mountains of overtime until He straight up told me to focus on my family instead of money and as soon as I obeyed He began opening the floodgates of blessings in unexpected way.
-
It is important to know the lord is in control over our circumstances because we can cast all our cares upon him as the bible says
-
It’s important to believe that God is in control and he has a greater good in our circumstances. The Bible says he causes all things to work for good for those that love him. This gives us comfort and a hope when we go through hard times.
-
How have you experienced God’s control of circumstances in your life?
-
He delivered me from many things in life from mental breakdowns to lifestyle.
-
I have experienced Gods control in my life by seeing him supply all my needs. He has given me a job that I enjoy and I have everything I need.
-
I’ve personally had financial situations in that I didn’t know how something was going to get paid. I prayed and out of the blue checks came in the mail. It was so unimaginable; I called the institution where the check came from to make sure it was valid. In other times where money was tight or something didn’t go my way, God still showed me that His grace was sufficient.
-
A biggie recently was, a close friend of mine and my self parted ways from each other. Bad thoughts, ugly words and a fouled life style separated us as we chose different directions. I believe that was Gods plan which was to separate us, show us that we were better business partners together and to let us feel what it is like to do without. Now God gas brought us back together and we are much better friends, business partners and he is 100 showing us the sky is the limit if we trust and believe in him.
-
God have showed me so much ,as I take this journey with the Lord. My life has been so much better in all circumstances of who the Lord and all guides me every day . Life is His as He take full control.amen
