"And my God shall supply every need of yours according
to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
If a man can trust God, let him go out and work for him;
if not, let him stay at home, for he lacks the first qualification for that
work. There is an idea prevalent that if a Christian worker has a settled
income, he can be more at leisure for the work and consequently will do it
better; but as a matter of fact, in spiritual work there is need for an
unsettled income because that necessitates intimate fellowship with God,
constant clear revelation of his will, and direct divine support.
God wishes his workers to be cast on him alone for
financial supplies, so that they cannot but walk in close communion with him
and learn to trust him continually. A settled income does not foster trust in
God and fellowship with him; but utter dependence on him for the meeting of
one’s needs certainly does.
