GOD AS MY JEHOVAH JIREH IN GOD WE TRUST
Good morning, I want to ask you who your source today? If you are own and you are going to try to work your way into prosperity then you will just be working in vain. Have you noticed how some seem to always be grasping for blessings that seems to always slip through their fingers. God says that we should have NO others gods before me, including your work. It easy in today's society to get off into idolatry even in the church doing good instead what is of God. Many things that started off as a blessing to us, but have now become a snare to their soul because God's people started looking at work or money as source of their increase instead of putting God first. We have created a seven day a week work society which God NEVER intended even God rested on the Sabbath. Luke 10:38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Because you are not blessed just by your work but by God's grace, therefore your work is a resource not your source. “And whatever you do, do it well as unto the Lord” (Col. 3:23). God looks at all honorable work as important work and worthy of being done well. But there a time and a place for everything under heaven and there is a time to cease from your labor. There must be a balance even in terms of how much you work. If God is your source then serve him and trust the Lord your provision. Because you can work this world's way your entire life and never have what God can do for you in a moment. Psalm 127: 1- Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain that build it. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. 2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants rest to those he loves.
