Daily Scripture Interactive Study for November 15, 2022 (5. Financial Needs Day 1)

[Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

What Does God Say About It? (5. Financial Needs Day 1)

Hello everyone, I KNOW you all AND your families are very well!! Because we have a GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, FATHER!!! Therefore, Father IS doing you and your families very well!!! This is “Day 1,” of our scripture study on a topic that addresses our everyday lives. We are beginning today with our next topic, "Financial Needs," to see what God is saying about it.  We are going to see what God says about this topic that can also steal, kill, and destroy from us, if we worry!! Jesus told us NOT to worry, NOT to be anxious, and NOT to be afraid. But we are to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, then everything else we need, will be provided (Matthew 6:33; John 14:1, 27).

All the topics we have studied scriptures on, and will study scriptures on, are part of the things we deal with, in one way or another daily. But we CANNOT ALLOW these things to distract or hinder us from our relationship with God; we CANNOT ALLOW these things to cause us to turn our faces from God, take our attention off God!! Yes, life happens to all of us BUT we MUST NOT ALLOW the things that happens to us, to cause our hearts to be afraid or troubled – I know, I know that’s easier said than done!! But ALL THINGS are possible with God IF we only believe!! Jesus would not have told us to do something if we could not do it.

Plus, Jesus already let us know that in this world, we will have tribulations. But to take courage because HE has overcome the world (John 16:33). God’s WORD IS FINAL!! JESUS HAS taken care of EVERYTHING, that would come to steal, kill, and destroy us, given us ABUNDANT LIFE, the VICTORY OVER EVERYTHING that tries to come against us in ANY WAY, the AUTHORITY OVER EVERYTHING that tries to harm us, and MOST of all, given us the Holy Spirit, our Helper, our Comforter, and SOOOOO MUCH MORE!! We are NEVER alone – Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit LIVES in us - They have taken their abode in us!!

As I stated before, I will attach a copy of the outline for the topics we will be studying scriptures about, as a separate document to each “Daily Scripture Interactive Study” I send. Therefore, you can follow along with the topics we will be studying. For the next five days, we will be studying scriptures on "Financial Needs" and then we will go to the next topic which is "Being/Feeling Alone." This is still an interactive scripture study but there will be a secondary topic – “What Does God Say About It?”

Some scriptures we may have studied before, but that’s okay, we will study again – the Word never gets old. Our goals for this interactive scripture bible study are still the same: to be more proactive with our daily scripture reading, it is a deeper study of the scriptures, and it also helps us to pray the scriptures, by inserting our names into the scriptures, as we meditate on them. Therefore, let’s DIVE into the Word of God!! Are you ready? Let’s go!!
