"A Wonderful Treasury for the People of God Whose Treasure Is In Heaven - Devotional and Practical Observations On Select Passages of Scripture for Every Day of The Year!"
"Two easy ways to follow the Faith's Checkbook Devotions to completion: Follow the small calendar dates on each page, or follow the other set of numerals ("001" to "366") inserted below calendar date. On the latter method you can start at any date and follow numerically to the end."
"Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store." (Deuteronomy 28:5)
Obedience brings a blessing on all the provisions which our industry earns for us. That which comes in and goes out at once, like fruit in the basket which is for immediate use, shall be blest; and that which is laid by with us for a longer season shall equally receive a blessing. Perhaps ours is a hand-basket portion. We have a little for breakfast and a scanty bite for dinner in a basket when we go out to do our work in the morning. This is well, for the blessing of God is promised to the basket. If we live born hand to mouth, getting each day's supply in the day, we are as well off as Israel; for when the Lord entertained His favored people He only gave them a day's manna at a time. What more did they need? What more do we need?
But if we have a store, how much we need the Lord to bless it! For there is the care of getting, the care of keeping, the care of managing, the care of using; and, unless the Lord bless it, these cares will eat into our hearts till our goods become our gods and our cares prove cankers.
O Lord, bless our substance. Enable us to use it for Thy glory, Help us to keep worldly things in their proper places, and never may our savings endanger the saving of our souls.
