God can do all things, but He will not do everything








Genesis 2:15,
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it."

God will not do everything for us. 

We simply have a role to play. 
As you go through life, it is important to remember that there is nothing that God cannot do. 
He is omnipotent and capable of performing any miracle or act that He chooses. 
However, this does not mean that God will do everything for us. 
There are some things that God will not do, and it is important to understand what those things are.

One example of this can be found in the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. 
God had created a perfect world for them to live in, and He gave them the task of cultivating the land.

God promised to bring increase, but it was up to Adam and Eve to do the work of tending to the garden. 
This is an important lesson for us today. We cannot simply sit back and expect God to do everything for us. 
We must be willing to put in the work ourselves, and trust that God will provide the increase.

In Matthew 6:33, Jesus tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us. 
This means that if we prioritize our relationship with God and seek His will above our own desires, He will provide for us. 

But we cannot expect God to do everything for us if we are not willing to put in the effort ourselves.

The devil knows that there are some things that God will not do for us, and he will try to lure us into his trap by offering to do those things for us. 
But we must be wise and discerning, and not give in to his devices. 
In John 10:10, Jesus warns us that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy
We must be vigilant and resist the devil, knowing that he is a liar and a deceiver.

This is why it is so important to work alongside our faith. We must have faith in God's promises and trust that He will provide for us, but we must also be willing to put in the work ourselves. 
As James 2:17 tells us, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 
We must have an active and living faith, one that is willing to do the hard work and persevere even in the face of adversity.

This requires persistence in the place of prayer. We must be willing to seek God's guidance and direction, and ask Him to give us the strength and wisdom to do the work that He has called us to do. 
As Jesus tells us in Luke 18:1, we should always pray and not give up. 
Prayer is a powerful tool that we can use to stay connected to God and seek His will for our lives.
