The Lord's "Much More"
Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?" And the man of God answered, "The Lord is able to give you much more than this."
~ 2 Chronicles 25:9
"The Lord can give you much more than you are likely to lose. The king of Judah had hired an army from Israel, and he was commanded to send home the fighting men because the Lord was not with them. He was willing to send away the host, only he grudged paying the hundred talents for nothing. Oh, for shame! If the Lord will give the victory without the hirelings, surely it was a good bargain to pay their wages and to be rid of them.
Be willing to lose money for conscience's sake, for peace's sake, for Christ's sake. Rest assured that losses for the Lord are not losses. Even in this life they are more than recompensed. As to our immortal life, what we lose for Jesus is invested in heaven. Fret not at apparent disaster but listen to the whisper, "The Lord is able to give you much more than this."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Lord Jesus, I surrender all things to You this day. All my worries, all my burdens, all my sorrows, all my hearts desire at You feet. The things that I need help with Lord is leaving it at Your feet and keeping them there. Help me to not pick them back up and try to do those things by myself, because whenever I do I always mess things up. Take this anger that I feel in my heart away from me and never let it return, this I ask in Christ Jesus' precious Name, Amen.
