I have heard about so many that are struggling financially. On one church planting blog, “probably won’t make payroll this week.” Met with businessmen recently that have told me their business is in the tank and just can’t give right now.

I hurt for all of these guys, the pastor and the businessman. WRC has had similar struggles (no one has missed a paycheck) but a lot of ministry that we do could be expanded in so many ways if the money was available.  I know the scripture says, “God owns the sheep on a thousand hills.” Then why do we struggle such with the resources needed for ministry? Have we missed God’s call? Misinterpreted God’s plan? Do “we have not, because we ask not?” Do we have too much and God is testing us?

Unfortunately I only have questions today. No answers. God has not revealed any great wisdom. I do pray God open your hand. Supply our needs as your Word promises. Give us this day our daily bread. Solomon said, “I’ve never seen the righteous go hungry.” Provide food for some righteous brothers today, church planters and businessmen. Peace.
