“For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance.” (Matthew 13:12)
We serve a God who supplies more than enough! In fact, one verse describes it as “a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!” (Luke 6:38)
God gives you the power to get wealth!
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…” (Deuteronomy 8:18)
Notice that this verse says it is God who gives you the “power to get wealth.” He doesn’t simply drop it out of the sky. You have a part in obtaining it.
You must “remember the Lord your God” — include God and put Him first in every part of the process (Matthew 6:33). Ask Him for wisdom and knowledge to know what you should do (Matthew 7:7). He will give you productive ideas, talents, personal skills, gifts, and opportunities to help you.
You must look for them, recognize them, develop them, and put them to work!
Keep in mind that even though God promises to supply all your needs (Phil. 4:19), it is usually disguised as work!
Work hard with a good attitude, as though you are working for the Lord!
After all, everything you need will come from Him!
Therefore
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Col. 3:23-24)
