God gives you power to work and get wealth

the tendency to turn from Him-God to ourselves when we prosper
Take this passage of Scripture and teach it to your children. I am writing these little lessons on work for a friend with a children's home. The goal would be to take a very few minutes every day to teach them the Biblical truth about work. They must work to succeed. They may have a cultural aversion to work. They must learn that we are from a different culture. We are heavenly-minded, not earthly-minded. We are different. We do not fit into the mold of this world.
Deuteronomy 8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
- God wants us to know the truth in our hearts
- It is not enough to pious say that God is blessing us and helping up
- We must really believe that it is God working in our lives in the pit of our soul
- From the inside out we should believe that it is all God
- What might God’s people, Israel, say
- They could begin to think of how strong they were to take the land
- They could believe that it was their power as a people and their ability to accomplish things
- The could believe that their talents accomplished great things
- God wanted His people to remember Him. He was their Lord-King, He was their God-the one who had made them
- God had given them power
- God would take them into the promised land
- God would keep His Word as He gave it to His people
- These words are preemptive.
- He is telling them this while they are still in the wilderness
- He knows the tendency to turn from Him-God to ourselves when we prosper
- People as a whole like to forget where they come from
- They want to be respected
- They are no longer slaves
- They are no longer nomads wandering in the desert
- They have defeated others and proven their power
- God knows what will happen and tries to get them ready to deal with the future
- Learn to work and you will be a success
- Just never forget this moment where you are\
- Never forget when God blesses that it was God that blessed you
- Never think of yourself more highly than you ought to think
The Dignity of Work
There was work before the fall
God gifted people to do a certain work
Even the poor had to work to get food
A wonderful historical story that will teach us a great deal.
Maximizing Growth, Overcoming Limits, and Achieving Excellence Through Effective Coaching
We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.
Navigating the World with an Open Heart and a Servant's Spirit
Your friends have left you. All earthly possessions are gone. Those you thought love you want you dead. What do you do?
Appreciating Your Past, Present, and Future
Starting in Mexico and continuing till today
Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary. Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
