God will remove the blinders preventing you from noticing the world around you. Pray that God will help you to really hear the words that your neighbours, friends, and church members are telling you.

God, we pray that you will give us an eternal perspective on the resources we hold and give us the opportunity to turn fragile and momentary resources into an eternal investment.

Sunday 21st June
PRAYER
What eternal difference could the resources God provided make? How many will come to know God because you decided to put God first in your finances? What would happen if you viewed your finances through the lens of eternity?
SCRIPTURE
Deuteronomy 15:10: "Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to."
(It is an astounding transformation. The deal is completely unfair and only made possible through grace. Earthly treasures turn heavenly when we use them to impact eternity.)
