Sometime it is very easy for us to claim that our material success is due to our own hard work, our own intelligence. We may think that riches are our own , are from us, and we can have the right to use them anyway we please...but if we think in that way, we might have lost our heart because we may not feel the need of God~ but the truth is we need God, all these are from God, our heavenly father. Everything is from God...
Some people would think that their wealth is a sign for God's approval, and they dont bother to consider how they had gotten it. In God's eye , success is different measure from ours. He calls us to faithfulness, not to affluence. Character is more important to him than $$.
All the resources and all opportunities are from God, by his mercy and grace~! Sometime you see people trying so hard , working so hard by their own strength , try to achieve something they always want for maybe their last 10 or 20 years~! IT can be a big house , it can be an expensive car, it can be just a show off~! I am not saying hard working is bad, but I am just saying that work hard for a good and enternal purpose, and not by your own strength but work with God together. Some time you work so hard, you spend most of the time on work or your own business, you may gain a lot of money or maybe not, it is a risk , but you may also lost the time that you can spend with your family, the time that you can build up a good relationship with your family, and also the time that you just do some sports to benifit your own health.
What is more important? Money or relationship , health ect? If you say money, ok, then why do you need the money for?? You may say "i need them to buy me a car or a house" or" i need the money to provide for my family" or "i need the money to go out with my friends" . Oh well, let me ask you something first, if you only spend time at work but not with your family and friends, you will not have as close relationship with them, then of course you can provide for your family, but they cant feel the love inside, because they need money but also the relationship with the provider~! Otherwise you will just become a mechine. If you have money to get your expensive dream car, then what? Who are you going to share your joy with? Your car? I m sorry but your car doesnt talk to you and laught with you. My friends, all these material things are all from God, it is all his blessing to us. All these blessing have his love in it. He is willing to talk to you and spend time with you, but we just need to make ourself more avariable for God, talk to him days and nights, and find out more about him and get closer and closer to this best provider in the whole world, you will find out more about his purposes behind his blessing, you will understand and keep receiving in a positive way, I m sure if you do that , God will bless you more and more , and also you will just relax and enjoy in his strong arm. You are not doing this by your own anymore , you are doing this for him and his kingdom.
Thank you God for your provision always and thank you so much for your love, please open up our eyes and mind to receive your blessing and grace, let us to come closer and closer to you everyday. It is not about us but it is only about your kingdom.
