Over the years, I have noticed something that has always made me stop and think.
Many influencers, athletes, actors, singers, and other well known public figures are financially supported by millions of people. Companies pay them. Fans buy their merchandise. People gladly spend money to support what they do.
Yet many people who have devoted their lives to serving the Lord, preaching the Gospel, praying for the sick, encouraging the broken, and fulfilling the Great Commission often hear things like, "Get a real job," "Just trust God," or "If God called you, He'll provide."
I have never fully understood that mindset.
Yes, God is our Provider. I believe that with all my heart. But throughout Scripture, God often provided for those in ministry through the generosity of His people. The early church supported those who labored in the Gospel, and Paul taught that those who preach the Gospel have the right to receive support.
I am incredibly thankful for the person who faithfully supports me every month. That support is not just about money. It tells me someone believes in the calling God has placed on my life. I never take that for granted, and I thank God for it.
Please don't misunderstand me. Prayer is powerful. Prayer changes lives. I need your prayers every single day.
But there is something incredibly humbling about someone who steps out in faith and gives, sometimes even when they don't have much themselves. That kind of generosity is worship. It is trust. It is partnering with the work of God.
Imagine how many missionaries, pastors, evangelists, and ministries could focus more on reaching people if they didn't spend so much time worrying about how they were going to pay the next bill.
Let's be people who don't just cheer on the work of God from a distance, but who actively help make it possible.
"The laborer is worthy of his wages." Luke 10:7
Thank you to everyone who prays, encourages, and gives. You are making an eternal difference, and I pray God richly blesses you for every seed you sow into His Kingdom.
