The Resources Are There
Scripture
“Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.”
(Job 28:1)
Devotional
There is no such thing as a shortage of resources. All the gold, silver, and minerals remain here on earth. Likewise, the earth has all the natural resources needed to supply its occupants with wealth. God designed it to meet the needs of its inhabitants.
I am convinced that the only thing lacking in order for the righteous to prosper is the willingness to do so. Granted, timing has something to do with it, but I have also found that those who are diligent usually have good timing.
I am sure God intends for His people to prosper at their calling. If God calls you into a certain ministry, vocation or business, He does not call you there to fail. The first of the Psalms says of the righteous, “And whatever he does shall prosper.”(1)
The resources are there. Are there resources in you?
(1) Psalm 1:3
Text For The Day
