Let Him have His Way with thee

2. Proverbs 23 1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,
consider diligently what is before thee: 2 And put a
knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to
appetite. 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they
are deceitful meat.
When a man of importance invites an ordinary
man to a party, there may be a hidden motive.
Don’t let your appetite for his rich foods cloud
your judgment; he may be wanting to use you.
2
Governments are the same.

3. 3
All of their handouts are given with
ulterior motives.

4. 4
4 Labor not to be rich: cease
from thine own wisdom.5 Wilt
thou set thine eyes upon that
which is not? for riches
certainly make themselves
wings; they fly away as an
eagle toward heaven.
A mindset of always and forever wanting more
is a foolish and destructive mindset.
God says, “Be content with such things as you have.”

5. 5
Motivation
4a Labor not to be rich.
We are taught in Scripture to work, but not with
only the desire for money as our motivation.
Work to honor God, our Father.
Work to do a good job and be productive.
Work to provide a needed service or product.
Any money that we need
God will provide.

6. Matthew 6 NIV 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What
shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What
shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these
things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you
need them. 33 But seek first His Kingdom and His
Righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well.
Many people exhaust themselves doing
6
Mindset
unnecessary things.
Do only that which God would have you do.

7. Psalm 127:1-2 (KJV) Except the LORD build the
house, they labor in vain that build it: except the
LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in
vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up
late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He giveth
His beloved sleep.
Without God’s blessing, our efforts are vain.
Be certain that you are working in God’s Will,
doing what He has called and gifted you to do,
7
and He will bless your efforts.

8. 8
4b Cease from your own wisdom.
God’s Holy Word, the Bible, is the only source
of real Wisdom; the only source of Truth.
Everything the Bible teaches us to do is for our
blessing and benefit and of the Kingdom of God.
All that the Bible warns against is to save us
from trouble and from shaming our Lord.

9. 9
Proverbs 3 5 Trust in the
LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own
understanding. 6 In all thy
ways acknowledge Him, and
He shall direct thy paths.
We trust in The Lord by simply
obeying His every Word.
We don’t try to figger out what to do.
We simply obey God Almighty.

10. 2 Corinthians 10 4 (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through God to the
pulling down of strongholds;) 5 Casting down
imaginations (logismos:reasoning; thoughts) and
every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Don’t just reason with your natural mind.
10
Submit to the Wisdom of God.

11. 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil
eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as
he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink,
saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The
morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words.
(TLB) 6 Don’t associate with evil men; don’t long
for their favors and gifts. 7 Their kindness is a trick;
they want to use you as their pawn. 8 The delicious
food they serve will turn sour in your stomach, and
you will vomit it and have to take back your words
of appreciation for their "kindness." So-called

12. Psalm 133 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
We can enjoy the company of our loving
brothers and sisters without fear of abuse.
But beware when wicked people reach out to
you with seeming kindness; it may be a ploy.
12
They may later turn and abuse you.
Choose friends carefully!
