\"\"<\/a>This morning I turned on some music as I was checking my finances and these lyrics “randomly” came to my ears:<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy design<\/span>
This place in time<\/span>
That I might seek your face, my God<\/span>
My God<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord I want to yearn for You<\/span>
I want to burn with passion<\/span>
Over You, and only You<\/span>
Lord I want to yearn for You<\/span>
I want to burn with passion<\/span>
Over You, and only You<\/span>
Lord I want to yearn<\/span><\/p>\n

Your joy is mine<\/span>
Yet why am i fine<\/span>
With all my singing and bringing grain<\/span>
In light of Him<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh You give life and breath<\/span>
In You we live and move<\/span>
That’s why I sing<\/p>\n

<\/span>~ “Yearn” by Shane and Shane<\/span><\/p>\n

When looking at my finances, I sincerely questioned whether I would be able to tithe this paycheck. My heart breaks to find the discomfort in the answer. But you know what’s funny? It’s not even a deficiency problem. It seems to be a pride problem. Can I ask for help?<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe God is Big.<\/span>
I believe God is Mighty.<\/span>
I believe God provides.<\/span>
And even in discomfort, all I need is given to me.
Just ask.
<\/span>
So out of the GREAT gain of knowing Christ Jesus, My Lord, self-denial and leaving behind pride seem to be such easier steps.<\/p>\n

I just have to keep my eyes on Christ. <\/span><\/p>\n

I trust my God.<\/span><\/p>\n

He<\/span> <\/span>will<\/span> <\/span>be<\/span> <\/span>exalted through my obedience.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
