He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 10.4

In the beginning, when God designed the way we should be, He planned two hands for us, two abilities: the natural one and the spiritual one. Then, when He created us, He put them in us. Because of Adam’s sin, the spiritual hand could no longer operate because it was atrophied. The physical part allows us to do a number of things, but with the coming of Jesus, we were rescued from the kingdom of darkness and given the ability to use the spiritual part.

Man should only do good; that way, he won’t open the door of his life for the devil to enter. However, since not everyone respects divine decrees, the evil one acts as if the Lord didn’t even exist. Those who accept Jesus as Savior and Lord are given the authority to do the same works that Christ did, because He overcame Satan: Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2:15). We are free!

To work with a deceitful hand is to do natural work without asking the Lord about His plan for us to carry out His will on Earth. To act without heavenly guidance is to err grossly. However, following God’s guidelines, which come from listening to His Word, will lead us to where the Father determined even before the foundation of the world. He knows how and when to proceed. So learn to use the divine revelations!

Anyone who does what they want sees the fruit of their labor being taken away by the forces of darkness, who will use people to harm them. The devil works in such a way as to try to destroy you, but that doesn’t matter; the essential thing is to pay attention to the Scriptures. If we walk in the holy Way, we will never stumble or go wrong. God guarantees this to all those who are faithful to Him. Always fulfill the mission He has given you!

Those who work by the instruction of the Lord will see that the devil can no longer touch them, because the Truth protects, delivers and brings them to succeed. Never give up on being happy for each victory will raise your reward on the last Day. Say there is a solution for you. If you fall, you will not be cast down forever, for the Lord has promised: Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand (Psalm 37.24)

The work must be carried out diligently – under prayer. Check every move of your hand, if it’s in accordance with the Word, and serve God without fear. Your part must be done with respect to the Lord, without bending to the lies of filthy spirits. Now, when you serve God, remember: He has promised never to leave you (Hebrews 13.5b). Act according to the Bible. Thus, your heavenly Father will prosper you.

You can understand when something is of God’s will by examining your heart. When you feel the light is green, go ahead; if it changes to yellow, step on the brakes, and if it’s red, don’t cross it. It could be that someone is coming the other way and causes an accident of small or large proportions. The Lord watches over us!

In Christ, with love,
