I take responsibility for my actions and try my hardest to live my life in accordance with the teaching of Jesus. I think he might have been onto something.
Greg and Paul,
The Bible teaches us we need to do these three things if we expect God to supply our needs:
First we need to believe by faith as in Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
https://www.bible.com/1/heb.11.6.kjvNext, we need to pray/ask as in Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”
Matthew 7:7 KJV
https://www.bible.com/1/mat.7.7.kjvThe third thing, tithing, may not be absolutely required to receive God’s blessings, but through personal experience and the experiences of countless others, it does make a huge difference, as also stated in Malachi 3:10
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Malachi 3:10 KJV
https://www.bible.com/1/mal.3.10.kjvI guess the first step is to believe the Bible is truly the inspired word of God (which I do). I believe it is the “roadmap” thru life, and to our eternal home in Heaven. Anyway, if you want your needs met, this is what the Bible says. It has worked for me throughout my life, and I’m no different than you or anyone else; just a sinner, saved by grace. 🙏🏻
