In everything
Exodus 30:15, “The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel, when you give the contribution to the LORD to make atonement for yourselves.”
The Lord is always there to make amends for His children. It doesn’t matter to Him whether you are rich or poor, black or white; anyone that comes before God is accepted and loved by Him.
His commands are the same for everyone, but they are based on our ability. The Lord in His infinite love for people has provided ways that anyone can reach, worship and show devotion to Him. While the Lord demands total devotion from all of His children; He has provided ways for our differences to be allowed for. The Lord never requires of us more than we have, but He will not accept less than all we have.
Everyone has been blessed by God, and He delights in blessing His children. However, the blessings that you have received may not be the same as the blessings I have received. The Lord demands that we use His blessings, whatever they may be, to bring honor to Him.
Some people have received monetary and material blessings; while others may receive Spiritual blessings. The Lord does not bless a few of His children, and forsake the rest. He has promised that He will never forsake us.
With that being said we must remember that blessings from God do not show favoritism towards us. God does not love any one person more than any others. Romans 2:11 tells us, “For there is no partiality with God.”
We read in James chapter 2 that God does not show partiality, and neither can we if we are called to be like Him. It is our faith before God that makes us right in His eyes. Jesus told the parable of the widow’s mite. He said to His disciple’s that she gave more than all the rest because what she gave was given out of faith in God. If the Lord has blessed you with riches, praise Him; but do not think that you are better than others. Likewise, if you have not been blessed by abundance you should not see that as a sign of disapproval by God.
In whatever way you have been blessed you must decide to use it for the glory of God! When you continually use your blessings for His glory then you will continually be blessed by Him!
