Tuesdays devotional: 50 Days of Transformation: Transformed in my Vocational Health - Day 44 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18a (NIV) Everything you have is a gift from God, including your ability to create wealth. After all, who gave you your hands and your brain? Who gave you your talents and abilities? You wouldnt have anything if it wasnt for the grace of God. You wouldnt even be alive. This verse tells us that producing wealth is an ability. Perhaps God has gifted you with a strong business sense and you are just naturally good at making money. That is a God-given ability. And since God gave it to you, you really cant be prideful about it. On the other hand, you might be a person who is always struggling financially. Dont be discouraged; ask God for the ability to produce what you need and remember that you have other abilities. The great truth of this verse is that you can make money to the glory of God. If you have a beautiful voice, you should sing to the glory of God. If you have strong athletic skills, you should run to the glory of God. How can the business ability to make a deal, close a sale, plan a project be used for the glory of God? By recognizing where that ability came from. By giving back to him the first ten percent of your income from the profits. By acting ethically and morally. And by providing a legitimate service or product that can help people. Why did God give you the ability to create wealth? Its not just for yourself. Gods abilities are given to us so that we can serve him and serve others. Every ability is given by God and every ability can be used for Gods glory. What did you hear? What do you think? What will you do? Now talk to God...
