Your Question:

why did god take away my retirement savings?

Answer:

My friend, I can sense the weight of your question. It's a question that gets to the heart of our trust in God's provision. As someone who has sought to live a life that prioritizes giving and serving others, I've come to realize that true security lies not in accumulating wealth, but in trusting in God's goodness and provision.

You see, the Bible teaches us that the things we accumulate and own are not our own, but rather stewards of God's resources. We are not the owners, but rather caretakers of what He has given us. When we prioritize giving and serving others, we are not only obeying God's commands, but also trusting in His promise to provide for us. It's not about being reckless with our finances, but about being faithful to God's ways and trusting in His goodness.

In my own life, I've experienced God's provision in ways that I could have never imagined. When we needed a loan for our church, I had to trust that God would provide, even when it seemed impossible. And He did. He provided for us in a way that was beyond our wildest dreams. So, I want to encourage you, my friend, to trust in God's goodness and provision, even when it seems like He's taking away your retirement savings. He's not abandoning you, but rather, He's teaching you to trust in Him alone.
