"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful GIVER. And God is able to make all GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;). Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
The LORD has placed a desire on my heart to bless those in need of "SLOWING THEIR LIVES DOWN" to realize just WHO they claim to worship. Scripture exudes us, many times, to "WAIT" on The Lord!
Everything seems to be based on speed these days. Speed reading, speed of the internet, how quick we respond to customers requests, how quickly our lunch is served, and I could go on and on. But, all of this is an attempt to satisfy TEMPORAL needs. Sure, it is good to help those with physical needs. But the SPIRITUAL NEEDS tend to be overlooked, or ignored. All of these "TV Preachers" preach wealth and prosperity, but there seems to be a lack of concern about getting people to "HEAR" from GOD!
FATHER, I pray that YOU do a work in my life, to "S-L-O-W D-O-W-N" my whole life, to move at YOUR pace. My purpose in life should not be attempting to "CRAM" something else into my life, only what YOU direct me to have in my life. Make me realize that JOY and PEACE come from YOU. My life's goal should not be trying to "be more successful", rather to be more of what YOU desire me to be!
Psalms 37:1-5 (KJV)
"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. TRUST in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and HE SHALL GIVE THEE THE DESIRES OF THINE HEART. Commit thy way unto the LORD; TRUST also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and WAIT patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."
