God’s Word for Today - 23 Nov 2024
Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV — Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 23 Nov 2024
Jesus told those following him one clear message “occupy until I come”. To occupy is to keep busy being productive and fruitful. God does not condone idleness in any form. When He created Adam, He commanded him to nurture the garden and other creatures put in his care. Are you a busybody in other people’s affairs, neglecting to mind your own business? The Bible says you must desist. Many people want God to give them material abundance and He is happy to do it, but God will only do it by blessing the work you do. And you must commit to doing it with all diligence and full dedication. Stop the wishful thinking and start to embrace your work with vigour and determination and let Jehovah bless you in it.
Pray: Almighty Father, give me power and wisdom to work hard and smart for a just reward. #Mok
