Your Question:
what if i can't afford to live?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your question. If you're struggling to make ends meet, it's natural to wonder how you'll afford to live. But let me tell you, as someone who's walked with God for many years, I've learned that our value and worth aren't measured by our bank account. As James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God..." But we must be honest with ourselves and acknowledge when we're not spiritually real. When we're living in poverty, it's easy to feel like we can't afford to live, but the truth is, we can't afford not to live for God. As the Bible says, "For to me to live is Christ" (Philippians 1:21). When we prioritize our relationship with God, He will provide for our needs. It's not about having enough money to live comfortably; it's about living a life that's pleasing to Him. And when we trust in Him, He will open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings upon us. I've seen this in my own life, and in the lives of those I've pastored. When we surrender our worries and fears to God, He takes care of us. We don't have to worry about how we'll afford to live; we can trust that He will provide. As the Bible says, "My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). So, my friend, don't be afraid to ask God for wisdom and guidance. He will see you through, even in the midst of financial struggles.
