Higher finance

Do you need to get money? Maybe it's time to try giving.

By LaMay Kent

We were a happy family, with three children under the age of five. I was a stay-at-home mom. My husband was a flight instructor, attempting to build some flight hours in order to get a job with a commercial airline. Although this job experience was necessary for his flying career, the salary was insufficient provision for us.

Nevertheless, this proved to be a holy time in which I learned what God's provision for His children is all about. I grew to understand that real, permanent income was God's outpouring of spiritual ideas to us.

Before this, I'd thought that I had to rely on my salary, my parents' income, my husband's earnings, or the amount of money we had in our savings account. Now I discovered that none of the above is truly the answer to lack, and that our need for financial security could be met totally by finding out what God's provision for us was. I found out that God is infinite Love and that it is natural for us to have all the good our loving God is giving us.
