Dimensions of Giving

Psalm.35: 27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalm.147: 7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a manPsalm.50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. 7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction 9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. 10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity 11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. Job.36:5-11The above passage clearly indicates that it is the plan of God to cause the righteous to sit with kings on the throne, signifying the place of authority and dominion. And the righteous here of course, are the believers in Christ. But the word says, these same righteous ones could be bound in fetters and in the cords of affliction. Indicating to us that merely being a believer does not guarantee instant liberty in cer-tain areas of the believer's life. And one these could be in the area of finance. And this may be either the way they handle money or the lack of proper attention that they do not give to the issue of money as believers.
