A Writer Employed by God

 

1 Timothy 6:20-21 

King James Version

20 O Timothy, 

keep that which is committed to thy trust,

 avoiding profane and vain babblings, 

and oppositions of science falsely so called:

21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 

Grace be with thee. 

Amen.

"I could have."

That could be a line for my work as a writer, journalist, entrepreneur, lecturer, and designer.

I could have been many things.

But at what price?

I've seen how the industry was, whether it was in quad-media, or public relations.

I've seen how others conducted themselves, whether they're journalists, or the ones written about.

I've seen many of the ladies when they were just starting, decades ago.

And now?

Well, they're all up there, highly visible, mega-paid, seen everywhere.

Thing is, I don't envy them

I made a choice early on.

I'm not that ambitious.

I wasn't willing to pay the price.

Such ambitions always demand a price.

At what cost, my soul?

I like a simple life.

I don't need to be known.

I just need to do work I can be proud of.

Something that honors God back, for the gifts He gave me.

Even before becoming born again, I had no need for the limelight, even as I had a checkered career in many fields.

After becoming born again, I stuck to writing, and teaching.

As I learn from Scripture, I share all that with you.

What could be a better way to serve God, and you?

A servant of God doesn't need accolades.

We just want to serve well.

We want to make sure we are following God's instructions to a "T".

Thus, our ears are forever glued to God's heart, lest we miss out on an instruction.

All His instructions can be found on the Bible.

But many days, when we need specifics, we pray and ask for His will.

And Jesus answers, oftentimes before the prayer has been said.

That continues to thrill my child's heart.

Then I know I'm on the right path, for God doesn't delay answers, especially in my work as a writer for Him.

The inspiration comes in truckloads.

That's why I had to create 22 blogs, and 24 books.

I'm merely following Spirit's prompts and instructions each day.

Some days, I find myself writing up to seven articles.

Those books were written in a span of 54 days.

The blogs keep multiplying.

I don't get confused.

I link them all.

God re-wired my brain because I asked it all be on Him.

He also re-calibrated my heart, so it only contains Him.

That's how I can serve God best.

Not to have distractions from a vain, and corrupt world, that aims to distract you from the Lord.

He created all of us for a purpose.

Just that in my case, it seems being a writer is God's choice for me.

All those "I could haves" don't mean much anymore.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 

King James Version

3 To every thing there is a season, 

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

To serve God, is the greatest honor.

It's where I am.

It's only by God's grace that I'm able to write the way I do.

For we have much work to do!

How to Find the Best Work of You Life

 

Colossians 3:23-24 

King James Version

23 And whatsoever ye do, 

do it heartily, 

as to the Lord, 

and not unto men;

24 Knowing that of the Lord 

ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: 

for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Do you thirst for truth?

For peace?

For true happiness?

For work you can be proud of?

For work that is useful?

Your search is over, when you finally seek God.

Your joy, satisfaction, certainty, and contentment at life, and work, can only be gained from God, for God will make sure you have all those, when you serve Him.

Isaiah 58:11 

King James Version

11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, 

and satisfy thy soul in drought, 

and make fat thy bones: 

and thou shalt be like a watered garden, 

and like a spring of water, 

whose waters fail not.

Only God has the power over our life and work.

Any man who tells you he is the power, and distracts you from God, is not of God.

Surely, you are aware of that.

And surely, it will be to your destruction.

Come back to God now.

Become born again, so you will understand everything of the Spirit of God, for God is a Spirit, and He can only be spiritually-discerned.

How does one become born again?

Seek the kingdom of God first, and all will be shown you.

Matthew 6:33 

King James Version

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you.

I can vouch for that myself.

My work has blossomed to serve the Lord.

As I serve Him, I serve you better.

The Lord is the only one to instruct you precisely.

Listen to no one, but the Lord.

Even before you were born, God already had a plan for you, as He told prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 1:5 

King James Version

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; 

and before thou camest forth 

out of the womb I sanctified thee, 

and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God always wants the best for you.

Jeremiah 29:11 

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

God would never want you to perish.

2 Peter 3:9 

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

We were all born for a purpose -- God's purpose.

The Bible was very clear about that.

He did not create us to serve ourselves alone, but to love Him, and to love others.

God created us for service.

To reflect His presence in us.

For His glory.

Unless you're born again, you'll have no idea what work you were cut out for.

All work will only serve the greed and vanity of self, and others.

You will be constantly manipulated.

Where's the love of God in that?

That's how the world designed work.

It was never for God.

The world has already shown its true colors.

It doesn't take rocket science to know, it has failed, and will continue to fail -- for it doesn't have God in it.

If you're tired, confused, broke, demoralized at how the world is, or how it's treating you, or you seem stuck, and completely lost, know that God is waiting for you to pay attention to Him now.

Do you really think God doesn't have control over EVERYTHING?

How can the creator not be?

How could we be on earth, if God didn't create, and plan everything?

How can we even doubt His power?

We are as nothing, compared to God.

John 15:5 

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

But with God, we have everything.

2 Peter 1:3 

King James Version

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us 

all things that pertain unto life and godliness, 

through the knowledge of him 

that hath called us to glory and virtue:
