It'll pay off

There's an old saying that goes, "Hard work never killed anyone, but I'm not taking any chances." And, while some may live by that adage, I think the majority of folks like to work. Maybe you don't necessarily like your particular job or your particular duties, but there is something about having something to do.

GOD created us to be doers, to be "accomplishers", to be busy. He has created us all with a purpose, and part of that purpose is to work. Now, it is truly frustrating to work hard and to really do your best and to not see anything come from it. It is utterly discouraging to toil away and see that there is usually more month than there is money. But, trust me, if you are busy doing what GOD has called you to do, it'll pay off.

Today's word is Proverbs 13:4, NLT, which reads, "Lazy people want much be get little, but those who work hard will prosper."

As we mentioned, there seems to be those that really don't want to have to earn anything, which is a really sad attitude and testimony. Not that having stuff is my desire. And, I certainly don't want to think that I have accomplished anything all on my own. It is only by GOD'S grace that I am who I am and where I am. However, I have said before, and I believe it with everything that I am, "You have to put feet to your prayers." GOD is going to provide and equip you with everything you need; you have to take what He has given you and work to accomplish His will.

If you feel as if you are in a rut, in a dead end job, where no one cares and no one notices your efforts, GOD sees it all. He sees your diligence and your desire and your determination. He knows your sincerity, your motivation, and your needs. Keep working hard. Keep doing the good work. Keep on keeping on. It'll pay off.

Be Blessed,
