All you have to do is turn on the TV and you are likely to see someone enticing you to invest in something they claim is a sure thing. You can turn one hundred dollars into a million and all you have to do is watch your money multiply!
There is no work involved. No blood, sweat, and tears are required for attaining this kind of wealth, but there are risks. In the Bible God is clear that work is required for our lives.
There isn’t a way around it. You’ve heard it said that hard work pays off and it does. Little comes to those who fantasize about being rich or who invest unwisely.
There is a time for rest. Don’t mistake what I’m saying. But one cannot sit around and waste their life waiting for things to happen. It is you and me who make things happen.
It is Jesus’ power inside of us that allow us to be used to make a kingdom-sized impact in this world. If you walk with Jesus and trust Him with your life—surrendering it to Him—He will make sure you have what you need.
He will provide the right job in the right place and with the right people right when you need it. He will provide when you are short on money and don’t know how you’ll make ends meet.
Trust is a big word, but when you learn to work hard and trust God with the details He will work it all for your good and His glory. When have you seen God come through for you right when you needed it?
