๐ซ๐ฅ Burnout is Not Your Portion
The world toils endlessly, chasing survival, status, and self-worth. But as a believer, youโre not under the curse โ youโre in Christ (Galatians 3:13). ๐ We donโt work as the world works. ๐ด The world toils (yaga, kopos) โ striving, grinding, and accumulating wealth that, in the end, will be transferred to the righteous (Proverbs 13:22). ๐ข We work (avodah, ergon) โ from abundance, as an act of worship, stewardship, and dominion under Christ's authority (Colossians 3:23). While the world chases wealth, the Bible says: โThe sinnerโs wealth is stored up for the righteous.โ (Proverbs 13:22) ๐ฐ This means that as the world wears itself out chasing profit, God is positioning His people to inherit what they didn't strive for. ๐ธ We donโt chase wealth โ we steward it. We donโt work to survive โ we work to serve. ๐ฅ If youโre burned out, it might be a sign youโre working like the world โ striving for identity, approval, or survival. But in Christ, you donโt work for identity โ you work from identity (2 Corinthians 5:17). You donโt work for survival โ you walk in authority (Matthew 28:18). If you feel overwhelmed, ask yourself: Am I working for manโs approval or for Godโs gloryโ (Colossians 3:23) Am I striving in my own strength, or walking in Christ's authorityโ (Matthew 28:18) Am I chasing survival, or stewarding from abundanceโ (2 Peter 1:3) โ ๏ธ You were never meant to toil. You were created to work in partnership with God โ as a creator, servant, and steward of His Kingdom on earth ๐ณ
