Romans 4:4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.
Have you noticed the people who try to work through life by doing it all themselves are the people who think it is a debt owed to them?
The more we lose focus on God and focus on the world, the more we will think the world owes us because of the work we are doing; or worse still, the more we think society owes us!
When we try to do it all on our own term we should not expect any reward other than what we can gain – not forgetting there are more people out there not following the same rules as us!
