Take the plunge. Doubt not.



9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Of if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! MATTHEW 7
22 Then turning to His disciples, Y’shua said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about your everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing… 25 Can all your worries add a single moment [minute, hour] to your life? 26 And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things? LUKE 12 nlt
26 Look at the birds: they don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable to Him than they are? 28 And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field… how they grow. They don’t [weave or spin to] make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory [splendor] was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father knows all your needs. 33 Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” MATTHEW 6 nlt
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. MATTHEW 6
Read again: Do not worry in Matthew 6:34 is not a suggestion but an imperative command. Disobey it and you miss the mark. Whatever situation you are facing, stop worrying. Worrying comes from lack of faith. Lack of faith binds God’s hand and stops it from helping you.
58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. MATTHEW 13
Let God help you.      
23 Everything is possible for him who believes. MARK 9
11 The Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. PSALM 84
1 Surely God is good to… those who are pure in heart. PSALM 73
The Scripture is full of examples of financial leaders such as Abraham, David and Solomon. Their pursuit of God was rewarded in every part of their life.[1]
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways. 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. PSALM 128
