Surrendering the funding of our lifestyle

- Scripture: Genesis 14:17–14:24
We continue to look at the life completely surrendered to Christ this week. This week we look to Genesis and the testimony of God’s faithfulness to His fallen creatures in the Garden of Eden. In this beginning book we see the outworking of God’s promise widen greatly with the life of Abram. Abram is a man of great faith, but he is also an ordinary guy who has struggles with fear and trust in the Lord. We see with Abram that there is a lifelong and daily journey and process of learning to surrender his will. Part of that process included for Abram is his lifestyle and its funding and so it is with us.
We all have a certain lifestyle. What we like, our different taste in different things, habits, attitude and standards. That lifestyle has to be funded or supported, so the question for us is will we surrender our lifestyle support? How much? Will it just be certain areas or all of it?
