Our next Luncheon at Fred's Market will be Tues. Sept. 28th at 12:00pm.

Bring someone.

I believe we are starting to see that to be mightily used of God in the Financial system we must have a greater desire for His Kingdom to come than for profit.

Heb. 12: but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake[h] not only the earth, but also heaven.”
[i] 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may [j] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
 

Is the shaking about over?

“Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out.” Numbers 9:21b

God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, and they had to pass through the desert on their way to the Promised Land. God was their guide by means of a cloud that appeared overhead. When it moved, they moved. When it stopped, they stopped – sometimes a day, a week, even a year.

Imagine living with the uncertainty of this situation. One day you work at getting your “house” in order, only to have to pick up the stakes and move. Your ability to plan is totally gone. But even greater is the temptation to move when the cloud did not move because you felt it was time to move. For the Israelites, perhaps the grass was no longer green. Perhaps the water was not easily accessible. Perhaps the bugs were a problem. Whatever the case, they were strictly prohibited from moving if the cloud did not move.

It is still the same today. We are not to move unless the Holy Spirit instructs us to do so. We are not to make that business deal on the basis of whether or not it makes sense, but on the leading of the Holy Spirit’s “cloud” in our life. It is a difficult process to move only when we are directed, and to remain if we are not. The pressure is always upon us to move, to plan, to act. But if we act, we may move into a place where the presence of God may not be. Hence, the rub. The Christian workplace believer must learn to move when God says move; it is a sign of complete surrender and dependence on God’s Spirit to direct our steps.

Ask God today if you are sitting under His cloud. Or, have you moved when He said stand still? He will show you.
