Our final lesson from the parable Jesus told [Luke 12:16-21<\/a>] and a major key to growing financial roots is do not<\/i> trust in wealth<\/i>. Riches can develop wings and fly away. Do not put your trust in money. Many of us think it is impossible for us to put our trust in wealth. It is because we really don\u2019t have a lot of money. Those who have a lot of money will tell you how they have to consistently put God before their faces and consistently renew their trust in Jesus. It is very easy for your heart to drift and begin to trust in money, so stay alert. Where is your trust? During a crisis, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it to seek God\u2019s help or to throw money at the problem? If your first response is to throw money at the problem then your trust is in money. Sadly, it is not only the wealthy that tend to trust in money. Even the poor that do not have money yet are also trusting in money as their hope for a future. You cannot afford to trust in wealth. Instead put your trust in God who is the source of all things seen and unseen. \u2018But blessed are those who trust in the Lord<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with <\/i>[financial] roots that reach deep into the water. \u2028Such trees are not bothered by the heat\u2028<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>or worried by long months of drought. \u2028Their leaves stay green,<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>and they never stop producing fruit<\/i>\u2019 Jer.17:7-8<\/a>. The heat or the long months of drought will not bother you. If your trust is in the Lord then no matter the season what you will do is give without being logical about it. \u2018\u2026It is more blessed to give then to receive\u2019 Acts<\/a><\/i>.20:35.<\/a> That is how God works. As your roots in God go deeper, you get more nourishment, and more supply. Where is your trust? Are you trusting in the government to sort out the poverty problem or are you trusting God to work out everything for your good and for the good of this nation [Ps.125:1<\/a>].<\/p>\n

Prayer <\/b>[song]: \u2018My hope is built on nothing less\u2028Than Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness.\u2028I dare not trust the sweetest frame,\u2028But wholly trust in Jesus\u2019 Name.
