SUCCESS AND A HUNGRY ENEMY

Editorial Comment

When you’re really confused, worried or don’t have a clue what to do, don’t let panic or worry guide your decisions. Relax for a minute and let God work. You’ll be amazed at the insight you get from waiting on God instead of striving to find answers on your own. Before you make any decision read Philippians 4:11-13. It’s a great Scripture. “For I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.” Don’t always react on your first impulse – instead, meditate on what God would want from you and realize that He is in control. You’ll be able to see His hand working in just about any situation when you take a step back and realize it’s not your plan, but His.

Additional Scripture

ABILITIES – Romans 12:6-8 – We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

ABILITY TO PRODUCE – Deuteronomy 8:17-18 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

ABUNDANCE – Ecclesiastes 5:12 – The sleep of a labourer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich man permits him no sleep.

ABUNDANCE – Luke 12:15-20 – Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. A certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought , ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ Then said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I have plenty of good things laid up for many years. I’ll take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. Then God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 2 Peter 2:3 – In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. Psalm 10:3 – He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
