In the American society, there is a strong work ethic, which is proper and good. However, this sometimes hinders us from receiving gifts and blessings from the Lord.

It is God's desire to provide all that we need and often that provision does come through our careers and employment. Adonai, however, does not want us to totally rely on our jobs as our source of supply. The Lord God is our provider and our source.

God wants to provide and give to you on a continual, constant, and a regular basis. He has already prepared a daily allowance and ration for you. Even when you travel away from home, He has blessings waiting for you. You do not need to worry about your food or clothing; for the Lord has already made provision for your needs.

Adonai is your King, who reigns over your life. He is good and benevolent; He only wants to add to your life and not diminish you. He has arranged situations and circumstances to life you up. He has commanded restoration and recompense for you. He has spoken promises to you and as you trust Him, you shall see His goodness poured into your life.
