The Wealth of Hard Work: A Birthday Blessing from Proverbs 10:4

lastwordrecovery

“A lazy person will end up poor.
    But a hard worker will become rich.”

(Proverbs 10:4)

You are a good worker and find great satisfaction in productivity. The riches you gain from your work are far more valuable than mere money.

Your work experience has taught you discipline, patience, and problem-solving techniques which are useful in every area of your life.

Your work ethic is exceptional. From this birthday verse, you can be assured that wealth is promised, both in monetary gain and personal growth. These will carry you through life with a sense of security and confidence. 

You possess a treasure trove of knowledge that comes from hard work. Not only does it enhance your performance, but it also makes you an expert in your field. 

The wealth of work is not always reflected in paychecks or bank balances, but God has a way of multiplying whatever you have in order to make good on His promise.

Embracing Self-Sacrifice: The New Covenant’s Call

lastwordrecovery

 “Present your offering to the Lord with your own hands as a special gift to Him.“

(Leviticus 7:30)

Rather than sacrificial offerings that were required under the Old Covenant, the New Covenant calls for a lifestyle of self-sacrifice, which is the greatest offering you can give to God.

As needs arise in your community, you demonstrate a sacrificial mindset by feeding the poor, helping the needy, counseling the troubled, and assisting the disabled or elderly.

Obedience to the teaching of Christ may not always be easy, but you know it is the only way to live an abundant life, free from resentment and unforgiveness.

Your sacrifices of time, energy, money, and talents to help others are actually offerings to the Lord, because as Jesus explained, what you do for the ‘least of these’ you have done for Him.

Happy Birthday 12/1

lastwordrecovery

Genesis 12:1
Then the Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s family. Go to the land I will show you.

Following God is not always easy, but you are convinced that is the only way to real life and true joy. 

As a follower, you are attentive to the One who is leading. You wait eagerly for His signals which indicate the need to slow down, speed up, or make a turn. Occasionally, you must even make a U-turn, which makes you feel as if you went the wrong way. However, even wrong turns are part of the journey, and the experience gained becomes a valuable reference point for the remaining journey ahead.

Since God designed you specifically for the road you will travel, equipping you with all the necessary provisions for a successful journey, the only thing you lack is the knowledge of where it might lead.

As you move toward your destiny, you learn that God does not reveal everything all at once. Your journey is one of personal discovery and growth.

You keep your undivided attention on the sound of God’s voice and you are always moving toward it.  Sometimes it is a song, sometimes it is the wind, and sometimes it is the still small voice whispering your name in the midst of a storm.

Following God is a pleasure for you. As he directs, you happily tag along, never letting Him out of your sight.

As you remain alert to the changing landscape and split-second directives, you are able to avoid the pitfalls and potholes which may have caused injury.

You experience life in a more abundant way, thanks to your choice to travel the road that God chose just for you. The horizon is often hazy and uncertain. God usually doesn’t reveal the next step until you have picked up your foot from the last one. Yet, every stride becomes a place of new promise.

Letting go of what you are used to, and stepping out into the unknown is one of life’s most challenging experiences.

However, as the voice of God’s calls to you from the realm of the unknown, you cannot resist. Your heart is anxious, yet you are intrigued. Stepping out into the unknown, you find that the promises of God are waiting.
