What’s in Your Hand?

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NKJV)

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7

What do you have in your hand? God is faithful and He prospers the work of our hands. He opens the door of increase so that our toil does not go in vain. The Bible never condoles laziness; rather God’s word maintains that “a lazy man should not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The Shunammite widow in today’s Bible reading had a little oil that seemed insignificant but when the Lord blessed it, she had more than enough. Moses had a shepherd’s staff that seemed useful only to his flock but became a mighty tool in the deliverance of Israel. What do you have in your hand?

God expects His children to be diligent, and faithful in whatever our hands find doing (Eccl. 9:10). If you don’t have anything doing presently, be expectant because this season, I decree an opening door of employment unto you in Jesus’ name. Don’t be afraid to start small. whatever vision you have, take a bold step, and launch out in God’s time. Let diligence be your watchword, be persistent, innovative, and creative in whatever you do. Remember the parable of the talent; the servants were given talents based on their capacities. Each servant was saddled with the responsibility to use their talent and profit off it. In the story, only two servants faithfully used their talents. The last servant buried his talent and never profit from it. Dear friends, use what’s in your hands and see God lift you in due season. May the Lord bless the work of your hand.

Self-Reflection: God never condones laziness!

Daily Confession: Father blesses the work of my hands. We intercede for as many that are looking unto You for employment, Lord provides for them in Jesus’ name. Amen

Intercessory prayer: Pray for employment for those needing one.

Hymn: Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to thee
