š«š„ Burnout is Not Your Portion
The world toils endlessly, chasing survival, status, and self-worth. But as a believer, youāre not under the curse ā youāre in Christ (Galatians 3:13). š We donāt work as the world works. š“ The world toils (yaga, kopos) ā striving, grinding, and accumulating wealth that, in the end, will be transferred to the righteous (Proverbs 13:22). š¢ We work (avodah, ergon) ā 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: āThe sinnerās wealth is stored up for the righteous.ā (Proverbs 13:22) š° This means that as the world wears itself out chasing profit, God is positioning His people to inherit what they didn't strive for. šø We donāt chase wealth ā we steward it. We donāt work to survive ā we work to serve. š„ If youāre burned out, it might be a sign youāre working like the world ā striving for identity, approval, or survival. But in Christ, you donāt work for identity ā you work from identity (2 Corinthians 5:17). You donāt work for survival ā you walk in authority (Matthew 28:18). If you feel overwhelmed, ask yourself: Am I working for manās approval or for Godās gloryā (Colossians 3:23) Am I striving in my own strength, or walking in Christ's authorityā (Matthew 28:18) Am I chasing survival, or stewarding from abundanceā (2 Peter 1:3) ā ļø You were never meant to toil. You were created to work in partnership with God ā as a creator, servant, and steward of His Kingdom on earth š³
