Your Question:
Why did God take my retirement savings?!
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with a difficult question. It seems like God has taken your retirement savings, and you're wondering why. As someone who has been a pastor for many years, I've seen many people face similar challenges. But I want to encourage you to look at this from a different perspective. We were seeking the Lord, and we believed that by putting all our finances under His covering, He would provide for us and we would have everything we need. And He did. When we give generously from our hearts, we are not doing it to get something in return. We are doing it because we trust that God will provide for us. The Bible says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). This is not a promise that we will have a certain amount of money in our retirement account, but rather that God will meet all our needs. And that includes our financial needs. So, I want to ask you, have you been living with the expectation that your money is your security? Have you been trusting in your retirement account to provide for you? Because if so, I want to tell you that you're putting your trust in the wrong thing. Your security is not in your money, but in God. And when you put your trust in Him, He will provide for you in ways that you cannot even imagine.
