2 Peter 1:8. Not only having the knowledge, but also the qualities that come down from above.
Each aspect of the gift that Father provides is a working part of a whole. One intertwines with the other, and is joined together in love.
Reward, wages, earnings.
Matthew 10:10 -- Don't take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a walking stick, for the worker is worthy of his food.
Proverbs 19:24 -- The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn't even bring it back to his mouth.
One who is diligent has the strength to eat. At least, if that strength comes from Father.
It is sad when a heavy burden is placed on workers for a wage, and then the burden is increased without a wage increase to the worker so that the profit goes only to the employer. It is as if to encourage an exact opposite of the wisdom given in Ecclesiastes 4:6 -- Better one handful with rest, than two handfuls with effort and pursuit of the wind.
There are a lot of things a person does normally that...perhaps upon reflection...aren't just so normal.
Careful consideration must be taken in what one ponders, especially in reflection. It isn't good to uproot a good plant. Nor to call a good fruit a bad one. Moreover, to ponder things that are of Father's concern, that are things that belong to Father in Her knowledge, not one's own.
One also must not lean upon their own understanding in things they do not have any solid foundation for.
Sometimes, as Father would have it, even having a stomach that is in rest from continuous digestion can be good, even if it feels like it is "hungry." At the same time, it does not seem good to treat certain things harshly.
Everything recent...2013 and beyond, are copies of my thoughts. Everything before 2013...is stuff I wrote before now...
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
