READ: Genesis 31:36-42
“The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah… And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.” – Jeremiah 45:1-5
Baruch was a scribe who wrote down the prophecies and messages of Jeremiah. God blessed Baruch with a personal prophecy. He told him, “Do not seek great things for yourself.” There is no point in seeking great things for yourself because evil is coming upon the earth. That evil will destroy all the great accomplishments you have sought. “Seek them not” is the word to Baruch. I believe that is the Word of God for all of us. Do not seek great things for yourself ! Seek great things for God! As you seek great things for God, God will give you all the things you have not sought.

Most people spend their lives seeking great things for themselves. I am sad to report that most people do not lay hold on the great things that they seek for. That is why it is great wisdom to attempt great things for God.
Jacob attempted great things for himself but was cheated out of greatness. Unless God helps you, you cannot do much in this life. The Bible is full of examples of people who attempted great things for themselves. If God had not intervened, their lives would have amounted to nothing. That is the story of all men if God doesn’t help them. There is so much corruption and cheating in the world that working hard doesn’t yield very much for most people.
Why not choose to work hard for God and attempt great things for Him? Why live your life on this earth only to earn far less than you really deserve. When you work for God your rewards are in Heaven.
