Treasure Hunting Under Your Tent

the children of Israel had sinned in their hearts by hoarding possessions and not surrendering to God so Joshua told them the way for them to repent was to go treasure hunting right under their tents to search for those things that are hidden from view and then give back to God all that He is due in this day of financial hardships and economic down turn now's not the time to hoard those dollars you have earned now's not the time to bury possessions under ground nor to suppress those gifts from God that may turn a life around for those things that are hidden are not even your own now's the time to go treasure hunting and give back to the throne don't let the world hinder you from being a blessing to others don't let other's opinion stop you from helping your fellow sisters and brothers for everything that you have comes directly from God your breathe, your depth, your very being especially your heart now is the time to completely trust in the Holy Lord to give of your time, your tithes or your talents even if it's something you don't think you can afford it's not about who you owe nor how much money you have in the bank it's about the blessings God has for you so in advance give Him thanks and whatever it is you do in life give back to Jehovah Jireh and be anxious over nothing for He is your soul provider don't hoard your monies go treasure hunting under your tent stop stealing from God as He only requires from you a tenth trust in the Lord that He will always make a way don't worry about the bills for a blessing will come in time for you to pay for you only reap in this life what you have sown and if you don't plant a seed then nothing will grow there's nothing you can hide from God remove those things that are destructive be open in your faith and unearth those things that are productive stay away from worldly concepts that the flesh desires to covet don't envy what others have find your gifts and then to God just pray stop looking at others go dig up your own treasures those gifts and talents from God that are your true measure it's not about the facade it's about what's underneath it's about what's in your heart that God desires to see so what have you buried in life that you no longer even use? what is under that tent of yours that you're so afraid to lose? examine yourself, uncover your treasures and then to God repent and remember to obey Him always and don't worry about paying the rent
