In Circulation

Have you seen the commercial where the seemingly-savvy man tries to pay for his meal with Monopoly money?  As he is washing dishes, with his thoroughly-disgusted date, he touts being a successful entrepreneur and wealthy hotel owner.  Well, he must have [at least] been good at Monopoly!

 

Charles H. Spurgeon wrote, “God’s gold is not miser’s money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see His promises put in circulation.”  Oh, how I love to read God’s promises to me, and I know God loves it when I apply His promises to my life!  It’s win-win!  Imagine how we dishonor The Father when we know His promise for peace yet worry, His promise for faithfulness yet feel alone, His promise for protection yet fear, His promise for hope yet live in despair.  Spurgeon continues, “Our heavenly Banker delights to cash His own notes.”  Monopoly money is only good in one place – on the game board.  We must declare in every circumstance of life – O LORD, confirm forever the word that you have spoken … do as you have spoken! (2 Samuel 7:25).  Put His Promises into circulation today!
