And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:8
I hear so many who are so concerned with Social Security. Why are people concerned over something that is so small? Social Security only provides the bare minimum for ones survival, if that? I believe this is a great time for the Church to stand up and proclaim from the rooftops the Truth that will set us all free! Through Christ, our Father will make all of His favor abound towards us, so that we will always have all sufficiency in all things. He will do this so that we may be used by Him to abound unto every good work! Our Father’s provision goes beyond just helping us, to abundantly using us to help those around us! Social Security is only able to give us the bare minimum, so that maybe, we might have some sufficiency in some things, so that we may not starve! And for the government to provide this minimal benefit for us will drain billions upon billions of dollars from our citizens who don’t have it to give! Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly. Our abundance is met according to God’s riches and glory in Christ Jesus and our Father’s riches are limitless!
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matthew 6:25-26
Jesus teaches us to take no thought for our own lives. We are able to do this because our Father causes all of His grace to abound towards us, so that we will always have all sufficiency in all things! Why Christian’s are getting into this fight over Social Security is beyond me? Through Christ we have so much more than Social Security, we have eternal abundant security! Jesus teaches us to look at the birds, they sow not, neither do they reap, and yet our Father feeds them and provides for them. The birds get to fly South when it turns cold. Believe me, we Christians should be taking notice of the birds!
Jesus teaches us that we are to consider the birds, which we are far far better then. The birds do not have to sow to reap! Sound like any sermons you may have heard lately? There is a huge message in Christianity today that goes: we have to sow our finances so that we may reap! But according to Jesus that is not how and why we reap. According to Jesus we reap because we look to our Father and seek His Kingdom and His righteousness!
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:31-33
