A story that took place thousands of years ago still has application to all of our lives, today. "Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him." Genesis 26:12
When did Isaac receive the blessing? After he planted the crops, watered the crops, kept the weeds out, kept the pests away, tended the crops and harvested the crops.
How much would the Lord have "blessed" him if he hadn't done the work? Given the other Scriptures on laziness being like theft and having food dependent on personal labor...not so much!
How does this apply to us, today? Some of us have too little faith. We believe we will not be blessed, so we aren't willing to do the work. Others of us fool ourselves into believing God will bless us, financially, whether we do the work or not, so we don't do it. I call that faith in socialism, which is very popular nowadays.
Here's the problem...if we don't have enough faith to work hard, we've given God no opportunity to bless us financially. As James wrote, "faith without works is dead."
Today, many live on the production of others until just the right opportunity comes along, but this isn't God's way. "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." Eccl 9:10 "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth." Pr 10:4 It doesn't really matter what you're doing for a living as long as you're doing it with everything you've got. Once we do that for a growing season or two, we will begin to see the blessing of God. Until then, our harvest is just what we've sown...if we're lucky.
