We all want God to fix our problems and take away our suffering. But sometimes what God takes out of our lives is a person, material possession, or activity that we loved very much. But thanks to our shepherd, we will lack nothing.

Our Heavenly Father is so generous. When we follow His ways, He leads us into wonderful blessings. But let’s be careful, if we don’t take good care of these beautiful fruits of God, they can rot and poison our lives.

God has always increased His kingdom with generosity and serving others. God’s original plan was always for His people to give freely. Then He will bless the work He has given you.

Sometimes what God asks us to do is scary, so we need courage. Other times it is grueling, so we need persistence. But sometimes it’s only inconvenient. Then we need love and obedience.

We plan our projects and lift it all in prayer, confident that we have God’s blessing. But in front of closed doors, we doubt or are confused. We forget that sometimes closed doors are a great blessing!
