Do It

Do It
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Proverbs 3:9
Proverbs 3:9 says we ought to honor God with all that we have. Do not just think of it as wealth because your time when you volunteer for the ministry is just as valuable. Honor the Lord with what you eat, what you wear. Honor the Lord with the shelter you have over your head, with the care you have available to you. Do you have a spare room? Honor God by inviting a family over to stay. Can you cook? Honor God by preparing a meal for someone else. Are you good at praying? Pray to God for strength of those dealing with loss at this time. With all that we have we honor God as we use our resources for Kingdom purposes. As Nike says ‘Just Do It’ with whatever resources God has entrusted to you, education, transportation, whatever it is, use it for the honor of God. Basically, the mentality here in Proverbs 3:9 is with all that God has given you, no matter how little or how much that is, see it as a gift from him, and see it as belonging to him.
When we allow God to use us in every area of our life, we are inviting His presence in every area of our life. Keep trusting in God for all things. Remain in His workforce and He will keep you in perfect peace. To what you can and allow God to take care of all the unknowns, and all the things we cannot possibly control.
Prayer for today: Dear God, I pray, especially amidst materialism in the world, and amidst unprecedented wealth you’ve given to many of us. God, I pray that our live will honor you in the many ways we help others. Please give us wisdom from your word and by your spirit to know how best to glorify you with all you’ve given to us, giving glory and honor to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
