Rest in God’s Providence and Direction

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
Proverbs 23:4

This proverb this morning really cut to the core of who I am and what I do every day. I run a region for the company in which I am employed and I have career goals that are much higher than my current position. It is very easy in my current work environment to have work prioritize my time in such a way that I forget the real reason that I am here; and it is all too easy to forget about the One who truly brings all of the joy and fulfillment in this life. It is only in God’s strength that I can do anything good and it is only in following His providence and His direction that my life will make any kind of positive impact in this fallen, enticing world that so easily entangles. Trust in God’s grace and power and direction today as you strive to know and love Him more!
