I am a new christian, when I came into the church communtiy I was under huge pressure and I was looking for a path of reassurance and happiness.
I have notice that alot of my stress and conflict is around money. I am fighting a law suite over a commercial property. I am fighting about money with my husband (I want him to be the major bread winner) I am not sure he will ever be good with money or figuring things out.
So yesterday in church the sermon was about how we are programmed from birth, to be successful, to climb higher and higher. but what god wants is for us to be demoted, to go downward. This is a message that has been hitting often and form differnet angles. I guess I really don't understand it......for eg. am I supposed to give up my fight in the legal battle (?) I really do not feel that they are the ones who are right, I think they are ruthless business men who had a plan to take advantage of me. (?) when it comes to my husband, I just don't think he has what it takes to be an entrepenuer. but what do I really know. I am just supposed to love him an support him be happy as my life savings get used up. Because supposedly god wants me to go downward, to be beneith (?)
the pastor refered to PH:2 1-11 for this message.
Please if you could help me feel more settled with this topic, I would appreciate the input.
