LABOR FOR GOD’S WORDS AND LABOR TO BELIEVE HIM
8/19/25 LABOR FOR GOD’S WORDS AND LABOR TO BELIEVE HIM
As I read the following today, I pondered about being in the Father’s business of laboring to find God’s Words, His bread of life. He is saying that it is a labor to have faith, to entrust and commit our well being to Him.
John 6:26-29 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labornot for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for on him has God the Father set his seal. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.

Heard: Work ethic. Careful steps. Walking discretely. …Just trust Me. Business proposal. Your assignment is to watch. Be available.
Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that you sought me? knew you not that I must be about my Father’s business?
8/11/25 FOCUS FOR WHAT IS QUICKENED BY HIS SPIRIT
My motive is for you is focus. Focus on God’s heart, God’s breath. I saw someone reading a magazine and on the outside of the cover were a bunch of typography letters and they were turned in all different positions.
The letters needed to be aligned correctly to make sense. The only way for that to happen is through recognizing God’s breath, His inspiration on what is being said. It requires our attention and focus to do so.
WORK MAN
This scripture popped into my mind when I was thinking about laboring to find God’s Word. I never saw the connection that being a workman is work. (Smiles)
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

WORD TO PONDER: TIME FOR DEEPER STUDY 1/19/09
There are times and seasons, each for My purpose. You have entered a time when it is important to study My Word. Research, ask questions, dig for answers. Search for common reference points, common words to understand My bigger picture from history through now. I AM opening My Word to you, that you may see fuller revelation of what I intended from the very beginning. Beloved student, if you take the time to study My Word, heed it and not turn away, I will reward you for your time. Your faith will be rekindled, your understanding will nourish deep roots and your joy shall return.
2Ti 2:15AMP
Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
Isa50:4-5NKJV
“The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD has opened my ear; and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.
WORD TO PONDER: I PLANTED A BLESSING 8/04/18
Precious ones, those who seek shall find. I do conceal what is precious, but it is your honor to search them out. I have called you to dig deeper and search for what is intended for YOU. Research My past Words, study scripture, wait upon Me and let Me draw your heart, mind and memory. Just like the game of hot and cold, you have the same sensitivity to My drawing. You know when you are feeling weak, cold and not comforted. You know when the fire of My passion is drawing you closer to Me!
Put your spiritual shovel into the ground and go after all that I have planted for you. What you seek, you shall find! If I am your treasure, you wont be denied! My heart beat of love is pulsing for you. Can you hear it? As you seek out My treasures, My road map will be revealed to you.
Pr 25:2 [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.
Mt7:7-11Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
