Is it really a matter of dollars and cents?

God meets our need abundantly.

By Linda Hitt Shaver

Sometimes my father would say he had too much month left at the end of his money. I've felt that way myself a time or two. Most of us have faced financial challenges at some time or other. When ends don't meet, we may start adding up the dollars and cents, and coming up with only questions and worries. How can I increase earnings and decrease spending? Can I find a job that pays more? What can I do, since my income is fixed?

There is a better way. An intelligent way. A practical way. It involves turning to God—not dollars, pounds, or pesos—to meet one's need.

A number of years ago, I was employed in real estate sales. Family considerations required that I work part time, so when newspaper advertisements for properties appeared, my name and telephone number always followed those of the full-time employees, even when I was the listing agent.
