Today, we continue our encouragement of teaching our kids about the connection between God and our money, our faith and finances.
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Proverbs 34:1-10 NIV)
His praise will be on our lips, when? When there’s more money than bills? No. At all times, always. God can deliver from some of our fears? No, all of them. When are our faces covered in shame? When we decide we can be forgiven? No. Never. God saved the poor man from how much of his trouble? All of them.
Do you detect a theme, a pattern in those verses? God does not do anything halfway or partially. He is all or none. And He needs nothing from us except obedience … agreement … faith. He does it all, we simply agree for Him to do the work.
The first part of today’s passage is first person. Let’s make the rest personal as a prayer as we read the passage again.
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; when I am afflicted, let me hear and rejoice. I glorify the Lord; I will exalt his name. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. I look to him and am radiant; my face is never covered with shame. Being poor, I called, and the Lord heard me; he saved me out of all my troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around me as I fear him, and he delivers me. I taste and see that the Lord is good; I am blessed because I take refuge in him. I fear the Lord, as one of his holy people, and because I fear him, I lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but because I seek the Lord, I will lack no good thing. (Proverbs 34:1-10 NIV, adapted)
Money is as much or more about our attitude than our aptitude of it. Consider reading this passage to your kids. Talk about the truths contained here. Make a list of the “good things” in your life that have nothing to do with money and everything about what God has blessed you with.
Let’s pray together: “Father, help me to praise you at all times. Remind me that You can deliver from all fears. Teach me to look to You for refuge. Help me to teach my children that we lack no good thing in You. As above, so below.”
