30day Put God First Test 2012: Day 4 – “Working with my Father in business"

For some time I've had the desire to work with God the Father in my business in a close and personal way.  I believe this dream is from God.  This is very personal to me.  I want to work with my Father in my daily business.

The concept of putting God first even in the face of being extremely busy at work and trusting He will bless and help your business is a very good open door into this concept of working with God in your business.  If you want a miracle - you first have to have a need.  Offering yourself as a sacrifice and seeking Him first and in the process exposing your business sets you up for a situation in which you are honoring God and trusting Him not just with your words- but with your very income.  You have created a situation in which you are saying with your life, "God, you are trustworthy and I am so sure you will do what you said that I am putting my life at risk to prove you."  God honors this kind of boldness and faith- even if you are pressing through your own doubts and fears to do it.  When you do this you will get a miracle because you've created an atmosphere of sacrifice and you have opposed anything that stands in the way of your relationship with God.

Someone asked me at my men's group this week what I meant when I said "seeking God" and I didn't know.  I hadn't thought of the meaning of "seeking" before.  I've thought about it this week and here is the answer:  seeking God is not just praying but its praying with desperation for Him.
