While it is good to be intentional about growing your economic life, don’t abandon God and think you’ll make it out there without Him. No! It doesn’t work like that. Go back to God even after messing up. Stay humble under His mighty hand, and He won’t fail to lift you.
Whether your life is like the prodigal son or an innocent fellow out of school without a job and staying hungry, look up to God. Get insight from Him to turn your situation around. Let Him give and restore to you a meaningful life devoid of suffering.
There is nothing wrong with desiring to be wealthy, but there is everything wrong with lacking the wisdom to manage the wealth you are looking for. Go for wisdom, and even if you don’t have wealth right now, it’ll be easy to manage it when it comes.
Can I tell you something? You may have plenty of needs you present before God. But if it’s about money, ask for wisdom. Go for wisdom and knowledge, and God will add wealth to it. In fact, when you have wisdom and knowledge, it’ll be easier to manage wealth when it comes.
The truth of the matter is that God is for you, and since that is so, you need not worry about your life. Worrying doesn’t lengthen your days of life. Step out in faith, knowing very well that God has your case in mind to deal with it for you.
Anxiety makes you doubt God’s provisions for your life, especially when you aren’t on any payroll. But God’s ways are past finding out. If He can direct what ways ravens should fly in order to get food to eat, then He knows how to provide for you in ways that aren’t in the traditional thinking of man’s ways of getting needs met.
Sometimes, when God inspires you to help others, you may not have all the resources you need to do that, both financial and human resource-wise. However, once that desire is there, God doesn’t care about multiplying the little you have for it to become plenty for people to enjoy.
When you pray, have faith for what you are praying for. Don’t pray telling God about your problems, and go back to worrying about the same issues you prayed about. It’s a disservice to yourself if you engage in that practice.
Solomon, in Ecclesiastics 12:12 did say that too much study is wearisome to the flesh, not to your spirit. So, in no way does Ecclesiastes 12:12 tell you to put limits on getting divine knowledge. That is why there’s nowhere in scripture that tells you to limit your pursuit to know God better.
Dear parent, your young boy or girl may be battling with certain addictions you are not even aware of. The best way to secure that child’s future is to teach him to remember his creator in the days of his youth. On the other hand, ensure your children love church right from their infancy. It’ll establish them in God.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:10 that as a young person, you need to banish anxiety from your heart. In other words, feel free to do whatever you like in those years of your life, only remembering that God will bring you into judgment.
One of the most exciting things about being a youth is that you can do so much in those years. Some people use those times to engage in secular entertainment, adversely affecting them later in life. Others use those years to know God more intimately, which pays off later in life. Choices are more powerful than what statistics say. So, to you, as a youth reading this, what are you doing with your life?
