Your Question:
Why did God take away my only source of income?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and confusion in your words. You're wondering why God took away your only source of income. As someone who has walked with God for many years, I want to share with you what I've learned. It's not that God needs our money, but when we offer it to Him, we magnify Him, which is worshiping Him. It's a matter of the heart, not just about giving financially. I want to encourage you to seek the Lord, to ask Him to show you how impoverished you are at the level of your heart. Are you seeking God's presence, His guidance, and His wisdom? Are you giving to Him without expecting anything in return? Remember, the Bible says that when we give, we are to give generously from our hearts, not because we expect some kind of power or reward. It's about worshiping God, not trying to buy His favor. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. They think that if they just give enough money, God will be gracious to them. But the truth is, God's grace is not for sale. It's a gift, and it's not dependent on our financial giving. I want to encourage you to seek the Savior, to come to know Him, and in knowing Him, to know His Father. This is where true wealth and prosperity come from, not from our bank accounts.
