Austin Pryor, publisher of Sound Mind Investing, wrote an article as if it were A Guest Editorial from Our Heavenly Father
My dear children, blessings and peace be yours!
I know many of you are discouraged by financial matters. Your concerns are my concerns, because I care for you so dearly. I want to encourage your faith, which is so very precious to me, during these trying times.
First, you know that you have my personal promise to provide for you as you rest in me. And you know I always keep my promises! After all, everything in all the world is mine, so economic cycles never hinder my ability to richly provide.
In fact, I enjoy giving you even more than you need so that you will have plenty left over to give joyfully to others. I delight in my children who are rich in good works, who give happily to those in need, always ready to share with others whatever I have given them. Such gifts are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is highly pleasing to me.
Just as I give seed to the farmer to plant, and later on good crops to harvest and eat, so I will give you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest.

Those who receive your gifts will break out into thanksgiving and praise to me for your help. In this way, your generosity brings glory to me! And that's not all — they will pray for you with deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace I have shown them through you.
It's for your sake that I remind you of this. By your generosity, you will be storing up real treasure for yourselves in heaven — it's the only safe investment for eternity!
