Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own (Mis) understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Whenever some new moneymaking scheme dawns on the horizon, the prudent Christian should take the matter to The Lord in prayer, before following these fools down a rabbit hole into neverland. Never should any stars and celebrities be consulted before getting on our knees to ask counsel of God, who knows the end from the beginning, and who’ll be able to alert us to any unforeseen liabilities, and risks that we may otherwise miss. The scripture is mighty clear on this issue.
When satan was permitted to tempt Job, the very first thing he went after was Job’s finances, for he understands that without income, the fine balance that should exist between inflow and outflow would eventually be disrupted. And he knows by experience that if such a situation drags on for an extended period of time, some folks will become depressed, raising the possibility that the one who is thus experiencing crunch time might end up cursing God, as we’ve read in the scriptures.
Thus, as the veil is lifted from the unseen world, we see the forces of darkness systematically working to shake down all of Job’s employees, and the wealth Job was holding in his portfolio in the form of herds, and livestock, was literally wiped out in one day.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
