Matthew chapter 28 verse 20 , do you believe what Jesus says when he says " I am with you always ".

I have recently been reading the 2nd book of the King's and loving the tales of Elijah and Elisha . Some very powerful words , some of my favourite six words in the entire Bible , " went not my heart with thee " spoken by Elisha and laden with importance .

Today I went shopping and spent eight dollars . I handed over what I believe was a ten dollar bill . The young man at the checkout gave me change for a twenty . I wasn't totally sure that I had given him a ten at first so I walked away assuming that I must have given him a twenty without realising . By the time I got to the door of the shop I knew I had only given him a ten for sure . I remembered Elisha's words that I had just read last night , " went not my heart with thee " and I turned around , went back to the young man , explained everything and gave him another ten , I didn't want him to get into trouble at the end of the day when his till would have been ten bucks short . Went not my heart with thee . Very powerful words . If we believe in Jesus and in God we have to know , know for sure , that they are with us 24/7 . We know what is expected of us . Luke chapter 16 verses 10-12 .

Sammi Gbu that very thing happen to me...But with a fifty dollar bill at Krogers... This poor cashier gave me change for a hundred when i only gave her a 50 dollar bill...And at 1st i was happy (the flesh) then when i got outta of the store i though about this poor lady...And i went back in and told her what she had done....She buried her face in her hands and said O thank you sir this is the 3 rd time today i have done this...I need to get home....When i got back to my car i prayed Lord be merciful to me a sinner....I felt so much better giving back the money....And i prayed for this poor woman that she wd get herself straight in Jesus name....Our carnal minds is in rank with satan...And is the very enemy of God...Thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed. etc...We are so easily corruptied by matierialistic things and money.

Amen to you . We live through and in our flesh which profits us nothing in the long run . Our treasure awaits us in another world . It's a constant battle for us all , we must remember that we should know better than to set our hearts on earthly things . It's going to get harder for us all to do the right things in this economic climate , many of us are already struggling and I think things will get much worse . We must be strong and not allow our worldy fears overwhelm us and lead us down the wrong path . Remember , none of those plagues that God put on the Egyptians touched the Israelites . We must have faith in God's care for us , even in dark days , we are not alone .
