millions or manna? / day three

Writer's picture: taylor allentaylor allen

this is my favorite day. when i was wrestling with the content that i shared on the first 2 days, i felt confused. stagnant. disappointed in myself. unsure what to do next. concerned with the state of my mind + soul. it wasn’t until i understood the fullness of what God was telling me. this is where the shift happens in our convo🤍

what work have i done with my hands?💪🏽


blessings from God or my own manufactured blessing? that seemed like a simple choice. the next area i brought under submission was my motive. when i confronted my motive, even the way i worked + my thoughts around my work transformed. i began to understand why things weren’t going the way i had expected + why i was experiencing burnout, frustration + rejection.

area number two: ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴛɪᴠᴇ

what causes fights and quarrels among you? don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? you desire but do not have, so you kill. you covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. you do not have because you do not ask God. when you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, + i will give you rest. take my yoke upon you + learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

 

once again, the desire isn’t what’s hindering us - it is the pursuit of that desire where we get tripped up. overworking is a perfect example of how this plays out, because the result is burnout, quitting, weakened spiritual life, + ultimate dependence on self. watch this video as SJR speaks into how it can be damaging to our spirituality but also how to check your temperature.


 

let’s normalize this 🤍


 


ᴛᴏᴅᴀʏ’s sᴛᴀᴛᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏғ sᴜʀʀᴇɴᴅᴇʀ My motive for success is to show God’s power working in my life. The glory, the praise, the honor is all due to Him. My work, my discipline + my focus looks different because of who He is in my life. All that I do is unto the Lord, not for anyone else’s approval or recognition.
