Brief recap, these are show notes:
First, this was about work and self-employment, and not just theory, we wrapped it up with what actions you can take. This topic comes from so many people who are listening and reading, attesting to be inspired, but not doing anything about it, and I can't handle it.
Second: I know this is a big theological headline, and the point is not that so much as it is, why and if we take action.
Third, I don't have it all figured out. I sit here as a result of more failures than I hope any of you have to face, and I still have plenty of challenges in my own life.
*If you don't believe in God or any higher power, this will still be interesting.
I shared some personal stories, and read from the book of James in my Bible. Specifically James 1:5, 1:22 and 2:14.
Proverbs is primarily a call to seek wisdom. And the number one way is through seeking out and truly listening to God, second is seeking counsel. OTHER people. People who have had success in an area you desire it.
THEN WHAT?
If God imparts revelation, what do you do then? Say thanks…and look to God to make it happen? Or is the happening part up to you?
If he reveals that eating whole foods, more veggies and fiber and exercising will help your health, do you say "thanks for the revelation" and then wait for him to make you healthy? Or…must you buy the food and get your butt out the door?
Anyone ever had a food garden that God tilled, fertilized, weeded and watered? Or did you do it? Grateful that God revealed to you the benefits of fresh food? But you still had work to do...
I'm so grateful for wisdom, that God revealed to me through His people. THAT…is the miracle! But I must do the doing.
God revealed so much to so many people in the Bible, but then prodded them to do the doing. He provides the task, YOU…do it:
- Moses led the people, why not just God?
- Jonah was told to go to Nineveh to prophesy, why didn't God just throw down a tablet?
- Noah had to build an ark, why?
So, pray and seek wisdom, then you do!
Walking along with you,
Agent Kevin Miller
