The story of a mother's prayer and dream for her children, a prayer that Jesus didn't answer in the way the mother had hoped. Some dreams are best let go of so that bigger ones might be fulfilled.

American society is pretty open about most things. It's acceptable, even fashionable in some circles, to talk about one's addictions to alcohol, drugs, even sex. But there's at least one taboo left, something hardly anyone wants to talk about; yet the Bible treats it as a big deal!

Pioneer Operating Budget

Growing up I was taught at an early age to show respect and honor to God and country.

For example, I was taught to never put anything on top of the Bible, because the Word of God is holy; and to never to let the flag of our country touch the ground, because people have sacrificed their lives for the liberty of our country. When it comes to tithes and offerings, we should always honor God by giving to Him the first part of our income and blessings; not what’s left after we have paid the bills.

Jesus addressed the concerns of people today, “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:32-33, NKJV).

The promise is that if we put Christ and His work first in everything, He will take care of all our needs. No need to be concerned about our food, clothing, or anything. God will surely come through and not only “add these things” but abundantly open the windows of heaven for us.
