"And
Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred
talents which I have given to the army of Israel ? And the man of God
answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this" (2 Chronicles 25:9).
If
you have made a mistake, bear the loss of it; but do not act contrary
to the will of the LORD. The LORD can give you much more than you are
likely to lose; and if He does not, will you begin bargaining and
chaffering with God.
The king of Judah had hired an army from idolatrous
Israel , and he was commanded to send home the fighting men because the
LORD was not with them. He was willing to send away the host, only he
grudged paying the hundred talents for nothing. Oh, for shame! If the
LORD will give the victory without the hirelings, surely it was a good
bargain to pay their wages and to be rid of them.
Be willing to lose money for conscience' sake, for peace's sake, for
Christ's sake. Rest assured that losses for the LORD are not losses.
Even in this life they are more than recompensed: in some cases the LORD
prevents any loss from happening.
As to our immortal life, what we lose
for Jesus is invested in heaven. Fret not at apparent disaster but
listen to the whisper, "The LORD is able to give thee much more than
this." - BY C.H Spurgeon
