Title: Get Ready, Invest, then Build!

Scriptures: Proverbs 24:27

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! what a beautiful day to start with Jesus!  Today, God has given me a verse that I believe is what I needed the most.  Proverbs 24:27 says, 27 First get your fields ready, next plant your crops, and then build your house.

For some time now, I have been airing out my sentiments with having 3 jobs.  It is difficult and hard but when I am too focused on the tiredness and pain that I get out from it, I failed to identify the benefits like the skills developed and the growth or development it gives me.  Last night, I had the opportunity to talk one on one with Ptra Arlene, which gave me confirmation once again that where I am right now, could be something that I needed for now.  I realized that the 3 jobs I have, have developed so many things in me, especially with my skills as a Virtual assistant - which brings me to the verse for today, it says that first, we are to ready the fields, then plant the crops and then build the house.  I believe that my experience right now, having 3 jobs at the same time, is readying the field for me.  I have the desire to go into business next year and I feel like the learnings and the things I do in all 3 jobs I have right now is honing and developing my skills and my mindset into becoming a businesswoman soon.  Amen!  So thank You Jesus!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for confirmation, thank You for wisdom, for Your everlasting words that continually comforts and assure us.  Thank You because You are a great God that knows everything and prepares us all for the purpose and will You have for the world.  Help me Lord to embrace whatever purpose and plans You have for me.  Give me the strength to continue on each day and let me be sensitive to hear Your instructions each day.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse share for today:

Proverbs 24:27 (Easy to Read Version)

27 First get your fields ready, next plant your crops, and then build your house.

Whatever plans or projects or goals you have in life, God has given us the right strategy to take in achieving them.  God says, ready your field first, once it's ready, plant your crops, and then build your house.  Simple truth that exist more than 2000 years ago.  It's principle is easy and direct.  We are to prepare in whatever endeavors we are to face or whatever challenges we want to take, then invest or plant - this may require sacrifice and patience but a definite necessity.  Then once the harvest comes, build your house!  So God, Himself, tells us that before we even buy or build the things we desire, we are to find a source of supply first.  If we take this literally, before we build our house, invest on a business that will produce you the materials to build your house, and more importantly, before investing in a business - start by doing your research and getting ready!  Simple but amazingly relevant even to our time today.

Happy Freeday!
