The #Message: Stand On Business!

Okay, so we made it to the end of Leviticus, and God basically closes this whole book with one final word: Stand on business! 😂Do what you said you were going to do. Be who God instructed you to be. Live the way God instructed you to live. At this point, we've spent an entire book learning about character, morals, ethics, values, fairness, justice, stewardship, money, abundance, rest, and what it actually looks like to live with God. Now God is essentially saying, don't forget what I taught you when you get to the next level.In this episode of The #Message, we talk about Leviticus 27, commitments, stewardship, and the difference between generosity and obedience. Because giving something freely is one thing. Telling God you're going to do something and then deciding, "Never mind," is something else. 😂 You can change your mind, but understand that choices have consequences—and all consequences aren't necessarily bad. That's why it's important to sit with God and get clarity before you commit.We also get into something that has been showing up heavily for me lately: contentment. Being able to say, "I'm good right here," while still knowing that more is coming. I don't have to chase the next thing. I don't have to constantly ask, "Okay God, what's next?" I can be satisfied with what I have today and still believe God for abundance tomorrow.And maybe that's part of the preparation.Maybe sometimes the next level doesn't require you to do more. Maybe it requires you to rest. Be still. Enjoy what God has already done. Because you can be content and still be expecting. You can be satisfied and still be growing. You can be full and still have room for more.We talk about harvest, abundance, unexpected opportunities, new relationships, recognizing signs from the Lord, and what it looks like when blessings start showing up in ways you weren't necessarily looking for.Because everything doesn't have to be chased.Some things are simply going to find you.Takeaways:Contentment doesn't mean you've stopped expecting more. It means you're satisfied while you wait.Stewardship is about more than money. It's how you manage your time, resources, opportunities, relationships, and commitments.Generosity and obedience are not the same thing.Don't make commitments just because you can. Sit with God and get clarity first.Rest and stillness can be preparation too.You don't have to chase everything God has for you.Recognize what God is putting in your hands and steward it well.You can be content with what is and still excited about what's coming.We know how to approach God. We've learned how to live with Him, walk with Him, rest with Him, remember with Him, and love Him.Now it's time to walk it like we talk it.The Kingdom is the Message.Chapters00:00 Completion of Leviticus 2710:12 Understanding Contentment and Stewardship27:20 The Distinction Between Generosity and Obedience32:09 Learning to Be Content and Satisfied39:38 Satisfaction and Fullness42:16 Preparation and Rest01:13:21 Harvest and Abundance01:19:02 Recognizing Divine Signs01:20:19 Embracing Opportunities01:22:23 The Importance of Rest and Self-Awareness01:29:10 Trusting in God's Plan01:38:49 Recognizing Divine Signs and Opportunities
