The Story:

A woman invested in the digging of an oil well because she believed that God had opened this "investment" to her. After much drilling, no oil was found and the decision was made to stop drilling. The woman went back to God and asked Him what was going on and what should she do? God told her to go back to the "investment" and encourage them to continue drilling. Eventually, they struck oil and she became a millionaire. Later, in her time with God, she asked God what happened with the oil well? God told her that there had never been any oil at the bottom of the well. He moved the oil so it could be found because of her faith.

My thoughts:

I have been with PIPs for less than 2 years and never posted. I have watched the "investment" go up and down and disappear. I, like the woman in the story, invested (by faith) because I believed that God had brought this wonderful opportunity into my life. I refuse to receive any of the bad reports that keep coming up. I am choosing to keep my faith activated. He will meet me right where my faith is at. I am choosing to cast this care on God and my investment will bring a return. Maybe that return will come through PIPS and maybe it won't, but my return is still guaranteed simply because God can move my harvest anywhere He wants so it can get to me.

Yes, I never invested more than I could lose. Yes, I check in with PIPS, but it is not my whole life. PIPS is not my savior, Jesus is. My faith is activated in many directions so I have no fear about my harvest whether PIPS is successful or not.

I hope this story is able to bless someone on this PIPS journey.

Have a great day everyone.
