Watch carefully for the slightest move of His Spirit
Psalms 123:2 (LITV)
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters;
as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress;
so our eyes wait on Jehovah our God,
until He shows grace to us.
You get attached to a camel when he belongs to you. But sometimes, I wish I had spent a little more money for a better one.
Camels are naturally stubborn. They refuse to get up when they are sitting down. And they won’t sit down if they are standing up.
That is why a camel bridle has a whip on the other end.

Make room for Jehovah to build the house
Psalms 127:1-2 (LITV) A Song of Ascents, for Solomon.
If Jehovah does not build the house,
they who build it labor in vain;
if Jehovah does not keep the city,
the one keeping it stays awake in vain.
It is in vain for you to rise early, sit up late,
to eat the bread of toils;
for so He gives His beloved sleep.
I put SO much effort into making sure that my family have all that they need! Up to a certain point, it is out of obedience to the LORD, for He says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 that “If a man does not want to work, neither should he eat.”

A prophet who can be hired, is NOT a prophet.
Nehemiah 6:10-14 (LITV)
And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up. And he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill you. Yea, in the night they will come to kill you.
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who being as I am would go into the temple and live? I will not go in.
And I understood that, behold, God had not sent him. For he spoke the prophecy against me, and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
So he was hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and I should sin, and become for them for an evil name with which they might reproach me.
O God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also to the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who are my alarmers.
A prophet who can be hired, is NOT a prophet. A prophet, should not be concerned with a profit more than delivering God’s Message.
