How do you do your work?????

Good morning everyone!!! I had trouble with internet, sorry I am late. God is good, all the time, all the time, God is good!!! Have you had things happen when you think you are working in the will of the Lord??? This happened to me yesterday and we ask why??? There is a reason, our reaction should be that there is something better waiting. Too often we do the woe is me act and want to feel sorry for ourselves. That is great!!!! For Satan......to take the joy out of all God does for us. I had to stop and look up......remembering GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!
Okay, enough of my woe. Galatians 6:4-6 "PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN WORK, FOR THEN YOU WILL GET THE SATISFACTION OF A JOB WELL DONE AND YOU WON'T NEED TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELSE. (5) FOR WE ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN CONDUCT. (6) THOSE WHO ARE TAUGHT THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD PROVIDE FOR THEIR TEACHERS, SHARING ALL GOOD THINGS WITH THEM."
What is being said here? vs 4-5 When you do your very best, you feel good about the results. There is no need to compare yourself with others. People make comparisons for many reasons. Some point out others' flaws in order to feel better about themselves. Others simply want reassurance that they are doing well. When you are tempted to compare, look at Jesus Christ. His example will inspire you to do your very best and his loving acceptance will comfort you when you fall short of your expectations.
vs 6 Paul says that students should take care of the material needs of their teachers (I Corinthians 9:7-12). It is easy to receive the benefit of good Bible teaching and then to take our spiritual leaders for granted, ignoring their financial and physical needs. We should care for our teachers, not grudgingly or reluctantly, but with a generous spirit, showing honor and appreciation for all they have done (I Timothy 5:17,18).
Do you take care of your tithing? Are you being responsible for all God has given you? Is your church profiting from your time, talents, etc. Thank you for listening....uh....reading. Love you all!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
