The Blessing of the Lord Makes One Rich
Copyright 2005 Daniel N Brown
Have you ever found yourself being super frustrated trying to do
something and not getting anywhere? It seems no matter how hard
you try it doesn't seem to work.
Wherever there is an anointing on something for you to do, there
should be an "ease" about it. I don't mean it should be easy,
but there should be a sense of "simpleness."
Here's a good example; a person may be in a job situation that
they may not particularly care for. In fact, they may absolutely
hate what they are doing and maybe even feel sick before they go
into work. Maybe he or she is "settling for."
It is noble to do what you need to do, but you don't have to
dread it. Many people are in a job or in a relationship where
they have no joy, peace, or sense of ease. It could be that God
did not instruct them to take that particular job or to be in
that particular relationship.
So many people are sad and discontent and continue to live their
lives in disappointment and frustration because they are not
doing what God designed them to do. These people are like a
square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Maybe they are
pursuing a task or a career that was recommended by someone who
was successful at it.
What is simple for one person may not be simple for another. How
many times have you seen someone do with ease what someone else
could not do at all? We are not all cut from the same mold.
Everyone has a purpose in life. Some of these purposes are the
same, but many are not. As mature and responsible people, we
must know what our strengths and weaknesses are. Most people
will say they don't know what their strengths and weaknesses
are, but I disagree.
Everyone knows what they are good at and what they are not good
at. The reason many people are confused is, is that they equate
their purpose with earning income. Success in life is not only
about income, but enjoying and loving life.
If you find yourself being upset in your spirit with no joy or
peace in some certain areas of your life, it could be that you
are settling for less than what God wants for you. When God
anoints something for you He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs
10:22). Instead, He gives you a sense of peaceful contentment.
He doesn't want you to "settle for." He wants you to be happy
and enjoy your life. John 10:10 says, "Christ died that we might
have life and have life more abundantly" and Jesus said, "Ask,
that your joy may be full" (John 16:24).
There's no reason to keep putting up with a dead end job or
relationship. Seek God's ultimate will for your life. The devil
would love to keep you thinking that what you have is all you're
gonna get. Don't believe it! Seek God's anointing and do with
ease what you couldn't do on your own. When His anointing is on
something for you there is a flow that just seems to make
everything work.
