John 3:27
"John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven." (KJV)
"John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven." (KJV)
As we struggle and work hard to achieve great things in life, we may sometimes forget that it is actually God who gives us those great things. Success is gained through hard work and God's blessings, and one can not pay off without the other.
We must remember that everything belongs to God, including the things that we work hard for. All good things are ours to earn and His to give, not ours to take.
That being said, there's no guarantee that He will give us everything we want, no matter how hard we work towards that end. But when the blessings do come down, it's important that we give God praise for his generosity and mercy. Without His kindness and love, we'd spend life working our fingers to the bone and never getting anywhere.
