Scripture:
“It is the Lord’s blessing that makes you wealthy. Hard work can make you no richer.”
— Proverbs 10:22
Reflection:
The blessings of God include life, good health, peace of mind, and so much more. We often focus on working hard and smart to accumulate wealth due to the pressures around us. However, being alive and well is far more valuable than mere riches. Today, God calls us to recognize that He is the author of all good things we have.
When we keep His blessings in perspective, we can find contentment. Hard work, while important, can only take us so far without God’s favor and protection in our businesses, work, school, marriage, and ministry.
As we face the day and all that comes with it, let us remember that God’s blessings bring protection, good health, and peace, enabling us to truly enjoy life.
Prayer:
God our Father, You are the source of life and wealth. Today, we pray for Your blessings in our businesses, work, school, marriage, and ministry. Help us to understand that You are the creator of wealth, not our hard work or connections. Grant us the wisdom to trust in You, no matter how challenging it may be to create wealth.
In Jesus Christ’s mighty name,
Amen.
