The Yearning-Learning-Earning Curve

2Ch 31:21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered




Many of us are good at starting a thing but not in finishing it. But Hezekiah the king began every work as an act of service to God. He sought the things that he should do by diligently studying the word of God. He obeyed the commandments. He sought God. He did all these things with all his heart and therefore it is recorded that he prospered.

Whatever we set our heart to do, we must do it with all our heart. It means being passionate about whatever we are doing. It means doing it as if we are doing it not for ourselves or to please others but doing it to please God. God becomes a partner in our busyness and in our business. No more will we have an excuse that our busyness with our business has kept us from God. Work itself becomes an act of worship and the results or success reaped from such work yet another cause to be thankful and worshipful of God.

Today, we see the failure of profit-driven capitalistic work culture around the world in the Occupy the symbols of capitalism movement. Instead of yearning for profits, we must yearn with all our heart to do our utmost for God in all that we do. We must learn to do what God wants us or tells us to do. Then we are building our life enterprise on a rock foundation that neither changes in the economy or tectonic shifts of technology or politics or events will affect. The process that the Word of God upholds is Yearning ( with all your heart) to do God’s expressed and implicit will, Learning to do it right and in the best way and finally, it leads up to Earning. Do all things as if we are doing it for our Eternal Employer, our ever present Empowerer and Enabler.
