What would you say if I told you there were hidden secrets in the Bible
To Help You Create And Build Wealth?
I’ll never forget that night. My husband came home from looking for a job and there was literally nothing to eat. I was saving some eggs and half a loaf of bread for breakfast, and that was it! I had five kids at the time (two more came later), and I prayed desperately,
“God, PLEASE help me!”
I didn’t know what to do. We were maxed out on our credit cards, we had insufficient funds in the bank, we were behind on our rent, and I had already borrowed money from everyone I knew. The kids were going to have eggs and toast tomorrow for breakfast, but aside from that—there was literally nothing in the fridge or the pantry.
That’s when I heard THE KNOCK!
I went to the front door, opened it, and saw my pastor standing outside with a big bag of Einstein bagels. My eyes went from the bagels, to his face, and back to the bagels.
“Hi there!” I said.
“Hi, Hannah!” he replied. “This is going to probably sound strange, but my daughter got a job at Einstein bagels, and I just popped in to see her. They were closing, and had all these bagels left over so she sent me home with them. But, as I was headed down the road, I felt God telling me to stop by your house.”
My heart leapt inside me!
I tried not to cry, but couldn’t help it. That night, we had a “bagel party” at the house. God had answered my prayer.
And I don’t think I’ve ever felt so grateful—and so disgusted—at the same time.
She didn’t know I had less than $80 bucks in my bank account.
She had no idea I was drowning in debt at the time.
She didn’t know I had been unable to pay my kids’ tuition bill that month.
She had no idea my suitcase was filled with protein bars because I couldn’t afford to eat out.
And here she was, driving me to the airport in her Lexus, asking me why Christians have such a hard time with money… What was I supposed to say, except...
“I don’t know.”
She then went on to share how money problems weren’t even part of the Jewish culture, that they understand money is a blessing from God. They respect it, and they learn early how to manage it in a way that honors Him. And, as a result, it multiplies.
After that car ride, I was never the same. At the airport I made a decision that I was going to dig into money and master it, instead of letting it master me. The Christian faith was birthed out of the Jewish faith (Jesus was Jewish), and He came to “fulfill the law, not abolish it.”
I just didn’t know what these money laws were.
After that point, my life changed.
dramatically.
