Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”
THE WAKE DEVOTIONAL 🌥
To live a life of meaning, our hands have to find something that we shall do with all our might. Our earthly life is limited to one span of less than 120 years in which what we have to do affects our eternity (Gen. 6:3). This makes it imperative for us think wisely and have results.
We are meant to apply ourselves and live out God’s will while on earth because when we cross over, a new age awaits in which the decisions we made here shall be weighed (Heb. 9:27). God desires that we become the best we can be for Him while still on earth.
So after embarking on the journey of discovering purpose like we saw in the previous sharing, we have to apply our whole selves to it. And alongside that, we have to make a living for ourselves so that we do not become beggars but give to others.
Paul says, “Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.” (Eph. 4:28). In this, we see that the purpose for work is to bless others. Hallelujah.
Finally, we have a promise from God that He will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty to send rain on our land in due season and to bless the ALL the work of our hands (Deut. 28:12). This is our heritage in Him. Blessed be His name forever!

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the opportunity you’ve given me to work with my own hands and be a blessing to others. And thank you for the ideas you give me to invent and innovate along the journey. In your name I pray, amen.
