500 million?

500 million dollars

How much are you willing to risk for 500 million dollars?

Many "Christians" are compromising because of this amount of money. They are frantically putting together numbers and combinations of numbers, wishing hoping even praying that they hit the jack pot. Sounds like a contradiction if you ask me... 

I know "faith without works is dead" but God doesn't need you to pick out numbers in order for him to bless you. Your "good works" doesn't get you to receive blessings. God blesses us based on who HE is and not what we've done so why do people seem to forget this when money is involved? 

I think it's a lack of trust in God, Or a willingness to fit in with the world.

 What would possibly make me openly say "yo God, Your not blessing me quick enough or in the way I want soooo I'm gonna take things in my own hands.. I got this" NOTHING!!!

I don't want ANYTHING if it doesn't come from God. Our hopes and faith should be in God and God alone. Not numbers, not papers, not lottery tickets none of that stuff. Our help comes from The Lord.

When I think about the miracles God has performed in my life I realize there is no scientific  evidence to back up the miracles, their is no statistical value to back it up.. they were just completely out of the blue straight from God. There's no way ANYONE could've made sense out of anything that God has done for me... so why would you need to "help" God out by picking some numbers? Just doesn't add up. Not to me!

Philippians 4:6-7 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:25-34 

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...

I think people need to learn how to be content with the things they have, and not get caught up in what the world is doing. We should have NO desires to look like,mirror or resemble the world. We are to stand up and stand out, never to blend!

We need to remember in ALL these be dependent  and lean on God for EVERYTHING. We have nothing with out him we are hopeless without it. We desire the things he already has for us.

God paid the ultimate price when he sent is only begotten son to die for our sins..

500 million is nothing compared to what Christ has done for us.. let's trust him with EVERY aspect of our lives. Let's trust him in everything we do. He doesn't have to prove himself, but he does daily. 

Living for God isn't always the easiest, but I believe it will all be worth it in the end.

Matthew 6:24

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

If you truly trust God it would show in your lifestyle and your actions. Even when it hurts you should trust him, even when you cant see what's around the corner you should trust him. This whole belief is based on faith. You can't live without exercising your faith daily.. don't let 500 million stop that today.

Romans 14:23

But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

If you love someone tell them

I love you
