Gregor: .if you are hungry,torn up about bills, have job insecurity it is pretty hard to establish your covenant relationship with God Interesting comments. Let me make the following observations... I don't think many know what it is to be hungry (myself included). Most bills come from our love of money and material possessions which cause us to live beyond our means. Job security is an oxymoron. I didn't know there was anything but job insecurity. We shouldn't be putting our trust in our jobs anyway (easy for me to say, I've got one.) Deuteronomy 8:18 refers to the old covenant. The new covenant supercedes and goes far beyond the blessings of the old covenant. In the new covenant we have Christ in us, the hope of glory. We don't need wealth, we have the possessor of all wealth living inside us. We don't need power, we have the omnipotent one living inside us. We don't need wisdom, we have wisdom incarnate living inside us. We don't need love, we have love himself indwelling us. We could go on and on. Now, to appropriate such truth by faith is where the rubber meets the road. Would be to God that I could appropriate in my heart what I know in my head more often then I do. Cheers, KMT P.S. As an aside, some say Jesus wasn't wealthy. I say that's hogwash. I wish I was as unwealthy as he was. When I have to pay my taxes, I have to write a check out of a somewhat limited checkbook. When Jesus had to pay his, he sent Peter down to the sea to find some fish that gave him the money. This is wealth my friends...to have the resources of almighty God at your disposal at the right time and place for the right purposes. And I submit to you, in Christ we have that! Glory to God! My problem is often I seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and for the wrong reason. ;-) Still under construction though.
