It is easy to look to people as our source or to look to our job as our source. Yes, God uses people, He uses jobs and He uses contacts, but they are not the source. They are simply a resource the source uses. If you are seeing things other than God as your source, the problem is that if something happens to them, you will think, what am I going to do? The source has been cut off. No, the source is just fine. God is still on the throne. Every good gift comes from our God in heaven above. That good gift may come through people, but is came from God. Your salary may come through your company but it came from your heavily God. His the One who caused that company to hire you. He using them as a resource. That contract may have come through friend or through another connection but it came from God.
That is why you do not have to play up to people at work or compromise to get a good break. People are not our provider, God is our provider. That job is simply the resource through which God chose to bless you. If you do not understand this, you can make people. If my supervisor does not like me, if this contact does not last, if this client is not good to me, how will I make it? Take people off the throne. People are not your source, God is your source. It is nice when they are goo to you, it is nice when they recognize your value but do not become so dependent on them that you start seeing them as your provider. Recognize that behind the source into the source. Behind the income and behind the opportune is the Most High God causing people to be good to you, causing that door to open, cussing that client to seek you out. Be grateful for the resource but keep your eyes on the source.
