Seek God's Wisdom

Lady of Light

Today's reading in Proverbs has a verse that just kind of "jumped out at me."
In Proverbs 23:3, it tells us"

"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom."

I don't suppose that means that you can't make alot of money on your job but it does mean that that shouldn't be your main motive. When we seek God's wisdom, he gives us a purpose in all that we do and he gives us the attitude of a servant motivated by love.

He promises in Mathew 6:33:

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

In today's world, we need to prioritize and stay in the word of God so that we keep our motives pure and our attitudes right.

I don't make lots of money at either one of my jobs right now, but I have a joy knowing that I am serving others and that I do it prayerfully in the Lord's strength.
I work for Senior Corps in a Headstart Program with 3-4 year olds and also have a home-based typing service. I help seniors get jobs providing job searches and resumes as well. I am glad for the opportunity to serve people and to encourage people. I know that my heart is right in what I do. I am also a wife and homemaker and I serve my husband in love and look after my home with love because I am very grateful to God for all he has given me. As the hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" says, "All I have needed thy hand hath provided - great is thy faitfulness, Lord unto me."

I hope that you meditate on God's word today and fill your heart with right thoughts and motives as you go about doing whatever it is you do.

God Bless You
