Wait on the Lord

My heart just recently convicted me of something. My heart said,Why don’t I wait for God to provide for me. Now I know that sounds crazy. 

However, there is something to that madness. 

Now obviously you are supposed to have a job. It’s good to have a job and be a productive member of society. 

And I’m not saying to go and quit your job so that way God can provide for you. 

But there is something different that I’m trying to say. 

Anyways, let’s first get into our moment of silence.

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray for God to intervene in our lives. Pray to God to help us to do the things that we need to do. 

Take a minimum of 5 minutes to pray for all of the things in our lives. 

Now back to the show

Waiting on God

You know it’s funny. Last year I had such a sweet thing going for me. I was blogging, working, and writing music. 

However, I started to pray to God for something that honestly I had no business in asking for. 

I asked God for a job that paid more.

Now I know that some of you are saying that, that’s not a bad thing especially if you live in an area where it’s expensive. 

But the reason why I say that I had no reason to ask for those things was because I was asking it out of lust. 

Not lust in the sense of sexual immorality, but lust in the sense that I wanted something out of vain purposes and for vain reasons. 

I wanted to be rich! Haha! And I was asking for this job back and forth. For a few months and finally I went through a series of events where I HAD to get a good paying job. 

So I found a job and in the end I left that job.

Now I’m not saying that I know what are God’s reasons for letting me go through that, but what I am saying is that I had it in my heart that God was telling me no.

I felt like God didn’t want to give me a good paying job just yet.

Why? It’s difficult to explain, but it’s bible based.

 Here are a list of reasons as to why?

1. Before pride comes humility. At that moment, I was working a job and blogging and making music. I was doing great things in my life and I was doing them for God. Why would I want to stop that? I wanted to be prideful before I was humbled. So, I’m not saying that God wants to make me rich, but God has to put me through the ringer first before I am able to be someone of stature. 
2. It takes time to build wealth. The bible itself says that all good wealth takes time to build. I was building my wealth through my blog but I wanted wealth NOW and that’s not good. I was using God as a manner to justify something evil. And you know that’s not good. 
3. I was trying to skip the process of becoming something good. This blog has the potential to provide everything that I need and then some more, but I didn’t want to wait for that. This blog has to go through a process of becoming something great and I didn’t want to go through that, I wanted money, fame, fortune, right off the bat and I know that’s not good. 

Those are all good reasons as to why It was against God’s will for me to get a job. But the last and most importantly thing is that I was trying to put my job above God. I was going to make my job the first and foremost thing in my life. And even though God does put importance in working, God never says that we are to put work above him. 

So like, it’s a big conception of work and God that we are to have. We are to work and work hard at all of the things that we do. However, we are not to put work above God. We are always to have God at the forefront of our lives. 

Right now, I work at a job that gets me by. I have a blog dedicated to God, I have music that I need to write about God. 

And the last two things are more important than the job. 

I know that right now the blog and the music isn’t paying the bills, but I can’t get desperate. I know right now I have to go through the grind. 

The grind of humility, work, and God. and once I’m done with that, It will all be worth it. 

The last thing that I want to leave you off with is this, Jesus himself said, “Look at the lilies of the field, they toil not. And your heavenly father clothes them. And yet solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these. How much more important are you  to God than to one of these lilies oh ye of little faith?”

I sure hope that I have inspired some people out there to start believing in God. 

If you want to go to heaven, then believe in Jesus and you will go to heaven.
