Deuteronomy 8:
18
But remember
the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce
wealth, and so
confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is
today.
Why should this
verse be of any surprise to any of us.
God lives within us,
and has developed certain skill sets in each person, to be uniquely, creative in
the market place.
I met a friend from
high school the other day, and he’s a multi millionaire, but has never forgotten
where he came from.
I asked him…
“Joe, what’s the secret to your
success?”, and he replied… “Good decisions!”
God is the One who
helps us with making smart choices, especially when we’re in the habit of asking
Him.
When using our God
given talents, there’s no telling what we can do.
How are you using
your God given talents, to help other people?
How are you using
your God given talents, to bring honor and glory to
God?
God does not give us
actual wealth—He gives us the power that produces the ability to garner
wealth.
There’s a big
difference.
Some people wait at
home, for God to drop something in their lap—talk about air
mail!
It almost never
works that way.
God gives us the
power to succeed—but we have to have the mind set to receive
it.
God wants us to ask
Him for help—then He wants us to develop a plan—and then He wants us to work at
it.
Jesus said in
John 14: 6… “I am the WAY the TRUTH and the
LIFE”
Without the way there is
no going—without the truth there is
no knowing—and without the life.....well,
there’s just no living…
